Recipe: Shrimp Curry

I loved this curry as soon as I made it. Although I got this recipe from a friend of mine and also from the website (http://www.jamaicans.com/cooking/fish/curryshrimp.shtml), I had customized it to my taste.

So here goes:

Ingridients:

Shrimp: 1 lb
Onion: 1 (large) or 2 med
Tomato: 1 (medium)
Ginger Garlic Paste: 1 tbsp
Olive Oil / Vegetable Oil
Lemon/Lime juice
Curry powder
Red chilli powder
Coconut powder
Fish masala, or kitchen king+pani puri masala

RECIPE

1. Thaw shrimp (1lb) in hot water for 10mins.
2. Add pani puri masala and kitchen king masala (1 tbsp each) along with lemon/lime juice and mix thoroughly. Let it stand for 15-30 mins. Use fish curry masala if available.
3. Meanwhile, finely chop one onion, one tomato and green peppers (if you need a spicy curry).
4. Heat some olive oil in a pan.
5. Add the shrimp mix and fry for 8 mins, or till a light golden brown color is attained.
6. Transfer the fried shrimp into a bowl and let it stand.
7. Fry the chopped onions and tomatoes in olive oil. Add one tbsp of ginger garlic paste and fry till the onions turn golden brown.
8. Add some more masala: 1tbsp each of tandoori masala, garam masala, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, kitchen king masala and pani puri masala.
9. After mixing thoroughly, add the fried shrimp.
10. Let it fry for 8 mins with closed top, constantly stirring every 2-3 mins.
11. Add coconut powder and 1/2 cup water (to get a curry texture). Stir well.
12. Let the curry fry for 8 mins with closed top, stirring occassionally.
13. Walla! Curry's read :)
