Chettinad cuisine is something that if you try once you will be hooked to it provided you eat spicy food. This prawn curry is to die for, so flavorful, spicy and delicious.
Ingredients:
- Prawn – 250 grams
- Onion – 1 large(finely chopped)
- Tomato – 2 large
- Ginger garlic paste – 1/2 tsp
- Chilli Powder – 1.5 tsp
- Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
- Salt – as required
- Curd – 1/4 Cup
- Oil – 1 tbsp
- Cinnamon(pattai) – 1 inch piece
- Fennel Seeds – 1 tbsp
- Curry leaves – a handful
Method:
1. De vein and clean the prawns. In a pan, add some oil and allow the cinnamon and fennels seeds to roast. Once it turns light brown, add the onion and saute it. Add a little salt at this stage for the onion to cook faster.
2. Now add the ginger garlic paste and saute it until the raw smell leaves. Then add the tomato and cook it until the tomato mashes. Along with this saute the chilli powder and turmeric powder for a minute.
3. Add 1 cup of water and allow everything to cook together in high flame. Once the gravy reduces and thickens, add the prawn and cook for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Finally, add the curd and mix everything together.
4. Sprinkle the curry leaves towards the end and switch off the flame after 2 minutes.
The finger-licking spicy Chettinad prawn masala is ready to be served. I served it with Idli. It goes very well with rice and roti too. Serve it hot.
