METHI-MASALA PRAWNS

Calin's Kitchen Leave a comment

Seafood with methi or fenugreek brings out an

unique and enhanced taste.

Masalas like this, are finger-licking and can be

served with any meal .

When cooking masalas like this you have take

care not to cook the prawns for a long time .

Cooking jumbo prawns will take only 7-8

minutes,so it’s best to make the masala thick or

your required consistency ,and then add the

prawns.

This way the masalas will,blend well and the

prawns will not turn chewy or rubbery.

Now,to the recipe ..

INGREDIENTS

500 gm prawns ( peeled and deveined)

2-3 onions chopped

1 stick cinnamon

1/4 tsp mace powder

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp coriander powder

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1/4 tsp pepper powder

1 tsp.cummin powder

1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste

3-4 tomatoes puréed or 1 cup tomato purée

1 tsp dry mango powder( amchur powder)

1 tsp sugar

Salt to taste

2 tbsp fenugreek leaves ( methi)

3-4 tbsp sesame oil /coconut oil/ghee

METHOD

•Heat oil,and add the onions,cinnamon and

cook till light brown.

•Next add the tomato purée,ginger garlic paste,

with the rest of the ingredients except methi

leaves,and cook till thick .

•Add the prawns and stir well .

•Cook for 7-8 minutes.

•Crush the methi leaves into the mixture.

•Remove from fire.

•Keep covered for a few minutes and serve.

Tip

•Do not add water,as prawns tend to

release water while cooking.

• If you want the masala thicker,add cashew

paste or 1-2 tsp rice flour if needed.

MANGO-MINT PRAWN CURRY

Calin's Kitchen Leave a comment

This is a mild curry with prawns,sunk in a

burst of flavours.

Can be served with rice,string hopper,hoppers..

a good match with any serve !

This too is my innovated recipe.

Raw mango in curries or kormas gives out a

good flavour, specially in seafood delicacies,

and the need to add any sour ingredients like

tamarind…is not needed as the tangy taste in it

contributes to the flavour .

This curry is one of the kind you will love to

pour oodles of spoons 🤤.

So do try this recipe and post in your

comments!

INGREDIENTS

1 kg prawn ( I like some with tail,and head on )

1 raw mango cubes

1 inch ginger cut into strips

2 onions chopped

2 green chillies +1 cup coconut ground to a

paste

A handful of mint leaves

1 tomato

1 small piece cinnamon

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 heaped tsp chilli powder

1/2 tsp garam masala powder

2-3 tbsp coconut oil/ butter/ghee

Salt to taste

METHOD

Heat oil in a clay pot ( preferably).

Add the chopped onions,cinnamon,ginger,salt

and sauté till onion turns translucent .

Next add the green chilli paste,mango,mint

turmeric,and the rest of the spice powders.

Add the prawns and cook till the prawns

change colour,and the mango is soft.

Add the coconut paste,and water . ( to the

consistency you require ).

Cook on a slow fire for 10 minutes,and remove

from fire .

Sorrel leaves,Pulitchakeerai ( Tamil ),Gongura

SQUID FRY

Calin's Kitchen Leave a comment

Squid in seafood is good source of protein and

good cholesterol . Deep frying increases the bad

cholesterol levels,like fried calamari . When

cooked or baked the effects are vice-versa.So do

your check before cooking . Once in a way

having dishes like this is no sin,but considering

healthattacks it’s best to give prominence to

what you put on the table .

This recipe is boiled and stir fried with less oil.

An excellent side dish for any meal !
