Ingredients:
Shrimp - 1lb
Onions -1/2 lb
Green chilies - 5
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tbsp
chilie powder - as per taste
Cilantro (chopped) - 1/2 cup
Coriander powder - 1tsp
Cumin powder - 1tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
cloves and Cinnamon - add 4 cloves and a inch of cinnamon
(or)
( I prefer grinding both in the coffee grinder this gives more flavour) - 1/4 tsp
salt as per taste
Method:
- Clean and devein the shrimp and marinate with turmeric powder
- Add oil and add the whole cloves and cinnamon if you are using powered cloves and cinnamon add it after you add the onions (don't add both)
- thinly slice the onions Tip: to prevent your eyes from burning, keep the onions in the freezer for 15 min
- Add onions, green chilies and saute it with salt, the onions should cook very well, they should caramelise
- lower the flame and add ginger garlic paste and saute for 2 min, add the cilantro, add the chilie, cumin and coriander powder and saute for 1 min in low flame
- Add the shrimp, cover it and cook for 2 min, add water if the shrimp is dry and mix well
- Remove the cover increase the flame and saute till the oil oozes out, or cook for 3 min
- Do not over cook, cos the shrimp will turn rubbery
