Roasted Prawns || Eral Varuval

Things You Will Need:

• Prawns - 300 grams (a small bowl full)
• Chilli Powder - 2 tbsp
• Tamarind - 1 very small ball
• Water as required
• Coconut Oil - 2 tbsp
• Cumin - 1/2 tsp
• Crushed Ginger and Garlic - 1 tbsp
• Onion - 1 small
• Tomato - 1 small
• Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
• Rock Salt as required
• Coriander powder- 1/2 tbsp
• Garam Masala - 1/4 tsp

Method:

1. Take the cleaned prawns, tamarind, salt chilli powder in a heavy bottom pan or a earthenware.

2. Add enough water to cook the prawns. Don't add too much water or the prawns will turn rubbery when cooked.

3. Once the prawns are cooked they'll start to curl beautifully. Allow the water to dry out.

 

4. Take another pan or kadai. Add coconut oil and cumin.

 

5. Add the crushed Ginger and garlic.

6. Add the onions and cook till the onions turn golden brown. The trick is to saute every other ingredient well other than prawns. 

7. Once the onions are done add all the masalas and salt to taste. Stir fry until well combined.

8. Add the tomatoes and saute till they become mushy.  

9. Finally add the cooked prawns and keep stirring until the masala's coat the prawns well and oil starts separating.

 Serve hot with steamed rice and steamed raw banana.
