做法
分步操作
- 1
Marinate the prawns with turmeric powder and salt for at least 15 minutes.
约 15分钟
烹饪提示: For best flavor, marinate for up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- 2
Heat mustard oil in a large pan or kadai over medium heat until it just begins to smoke lightly.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示: Mustard oil needs to be heated until it just smokes to remove its pungent raw flavor.
- 3
Lightly fry the marinated prawns for 1-2 minutes per side until they just turn pink. Do not overcook them at this stage.
约 4分钟
烹饪提示: Frying quickly helps seal in the juices; they will finish cooking in the curry.
- 4
Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan.
约 1分钟
- 5
Add the bay leaf, cinnamon stick, green cardamom, and cloves to the same oil and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示: Be careful not to burn the whole spices.
- 6
Add the finely chopped yellow onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
约 7分钟
烹饪提示: Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- 7
Stir in the ginger garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
约 2分钟
- 8
Reduce the heat to low and add the cumin powder, coriander powder, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute, adding a splash of water if the spices stick to prevent burning.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示: Cooking dry spices on low heat helps bloom their flavors.
- 9
Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring well to combine with the spice mixture. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示: Continuously stir the coconut milk as it heats to prevent it from curdling.
- 10
Add the sugar and adjust salt to taste, if needed.
约 1分钟
- 11
Return the fried prawns to the simmering curry and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the prawns are fully cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示: Avoid overcooking the prawns, as they can become rubbery.
- 12
Stir in the garam masala and the green chilies.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示: Adding garam masala at the end preserves its fresh aroma.
- 13
Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
