Ingredients
6 Big
glass prawns (deveined and cleaned leaving just the tale part untouched)
1 tbsp
pickle masala (Will soon post a separate recipe on this)
2 tbsp
oil
2
medium-size red onions finely chopped
1
medium-size tomato
2-3
pods of garlic finely chopped
½ tsp
lemon juice
½ tsp
turmeric powder
½ tsp
red chilly powder (for spice)
1 tsp
Kashmiri red chilly powder (for colour)
1 tsp
tomato ketchup
Salt to
taste
Procedure
Marinate the prawns with 1 tsp
salt and set aside for 5-10min.
In a heavy bottom pan heat oil.
Add garlic to it. Cook until the raw smell goes away which will be
approximately 3-5min.
Add onion and toss until
transparent. Tip in all the masalas namely, both the chilly powders, turmeric
powder, and pickle masala.
Now add the chopped tomatoes.
Cook well until mushy.
Pour in the tomato ketchup.
Add the marinated prawns. (I
chopped a couple of prawns and kept some prawns as a whole for the plating)
Mix it well so that the prawns
are coated well in the masala. Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for
5-7min until the prawns curl in and turn white and fleshy.
Cook for yet another 5 min with
open lid mixing the whole thing well once again.
Add salt along with fresh lemon
juice.
Give it one final stir.
Let it rest for 10-15 min for the
masala
to be nicely absorbed by the
prawns and serve it in the Kueh pie tee cups as an eye-catching and
lip-smacking starter.
Tips
and Notes
This version of prawns can be a
