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 lovely starter for a small get together and trust me is a hit for sure.
