Prawn Madras Recipes

KING PRAWN MADRAS

Steps:

• Put the Ghee (or oil) into a pan and add to a high heat. Once hot add the Cumin and Coriander seeds and stir for about 30 seconds until they start to crackle and pop.
• Add the chopped onions to the pan and reduce the heat to medium.
• While the onions are cooking, mix together the Ginger Puree, Ginger Puree, Chilli Powder, Curry Powder, Tumeric and a splash of water to make a paste. Once the onions have gone a golden colour, add the paste and fry for a couple of minutes while stirring well.
• Add the King Prawns and chopped chillies into the pan and stir for a minute or so to turn the prawns pink.
• Finally, add the Onion Puree, Tomato Puree, Chopped Tomatoes and Chicken Stock to the pan and stir in well. Bring to the boil and reduce down to a low heat to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes. Have a taste of the sauce at this point and season with salt to taste if necessary.
• Add the Garam Masala and mix in well and cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Serve with Rice or Naan and Garnish with Coriander.

PRAWN CURRY IN A HURRY

Steps:

• Drizzle some oil from the curry paste jar into a wok or large frying pan, gently heat, then add the onion. Sizzle over a low heat for 4 mins until the onion softens, then stir in the paste and cook for a few mins longer. Stir in the prawns and tomatoes, then bring to a simmer. If using raw prawns, simmer until they have changed colour and are cooked through. Season, if you like, then add the coriander just before serving with boiled rice and naan bread.

• Divide between plates along with steamed rice, sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves and serve with naan, if you like.

• Add shrimp, season with salt and cayenne and simmer over medium heat until the shrimp are pink and cooked through (about 5 minutes).
• Stir in the mint and lemon zest and serve in deep bowls over steamed rice.

SHRIMP MADRAS

Steps:

• 1. Place the shrimp in a bowl. Add the Curry Powder, Garam Masala, kari leaves, garlic, and oil and crumble over shrimps.
• 2. Heat a frying pan over high heat until very hot. Add the shrimps and sear, shaking and tossing, for 1 minute, or until they begin to turn pink and curl up. Whisk the tomato paste into the coconut milk and add to the shrimps. Continue to cook until the sauce is reduced to a glaze and the shrimps are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and lemon juice and turn off the heat.
• 3. Spread the watercress on a plate and mound the shrimps on top of it. Serve immediately.
