Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 24

750 g (1½lbs) shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tbsp butter
1 onion (finely diced)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tsp minced ginger
10 curry leaves ((optional))
1½ tbsp Garam Masala
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp sugar ((optional))
1 cup stock
1½ cups heavy / whipping cream
1-2 tsp lemon juice (to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste )
½ cup warm water
10 g (2tsp) instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
2½-3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
½ cup plain yogurt
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the Naan bread: Whisk the yeast and sugar into the water and allow to stand for a few minutes until foamy.
  • Add 2½ cups flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
  • Pour in the yeast mixture, yogurt and oil. Knead on low speed until the dough comes together. If the dough is very sticky add more flour.
  • Allow to knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
  • Once risen, break off small handfuls of the dough and roll out on a floured surface.
  • Heat a large skillet then add the dough. Cover with a lid and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until the dough is blistered. Carefully flip over and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter.
  • For the curry: Season the shrimp with salt and garam masala and toss well. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, deep frying pan and brown the shrimp on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in the pan then add the onions. Cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the stock, sugar, cream and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a simmer then allow to cook for 7-10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly. I prefer the sauce to be a little looser in consistency but you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch/corn flour if you prefer a thicker sauce.
  • Once the sauce is the consistency you like, add the shrimp back in to the sauce and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
  • Serve the curry with rice and naan bread.

CRUNCHY CURRIED SHRIMP OR FISH



Crunchy Curried Shrimp or Fish image

I have been making this dish for more than thirty years-it's one of the first South Asian recipes I learned-and I've never stopped loving it. After having a similar preparation in Delhi, I loved it even more. Basically, you coat shrimp with a spicy mix, then with a simple batter. Originally it was deep-fried, but shallow-frying, which uses less oil and makes less of a mess, works just as well. Don't limit yourself to shrimp here; any seafood- scallops, oysters, clams, or fish fillet-will work wonderfully. Cooking time will remain about the same in almost every case.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 to 2 pounds shrimp, the bigger the better, peeled, or any fish fillet
1 tablespoon vinegar, any kind
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably homemade (pages 592-593), or garam masala (page 594)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne, optional
Peanut or vegetable oil for frying
2 cups flour
Lime wedges
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200°F. Toss the shrimp or fish with the vinegar. Combine the salt, pepper, turmeric, curry powder, and cayenne, if using, and rub this mixture into the fish.
  • Put at least 1/8 inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. Combine the flour with enough warm water to make a paste about as thick as yogurt.
  • When the oil is hot (a pinch of flour will sizzle), dip each piece of shrimp into the batter and cook, raising the heat to high and rotating the pieces as necessary to promote even browning, until golden and crisp on each side, 5 to 8 minutes total. Do not crowd; you will have to cook in batches. As each piece is done, keep it warm in the oven while you continue to cook. Serve with the lime, garnished with the cilantro.
  • A more fiery version, though you can keep the chiles to a minimum; the onions alone make it interesting: Steps 1 and 2 remain the same. In step 3, transfer the shrimp or fish to a plate after browning quickly, about 2 minutes per side. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the oil, then add 3 large onions, sliced and separated into rings, another tablespoon curry powder or garam masala, and 3 stemmed, seeded, and minced fresh or dried chiles (or to taste). Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally and adjusting the heat so the onions cook as quickly as possible without burning, until the onion has wilted and browned, at least 10 minutes. Add a cup of water, bring to a boil, and return the fish to the skillet. Cook at a gentle simmer until the fish is done, another 5 minutes or so. Serve over white rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen shrimp.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Make sure to remove the heads, tails, and shells from the shrimp before cooking.
  • Use a variety of spices: The curry powder used in this recipe is a blend of several spices, including turmeric, coriander, cumin, and fenugreek. You can also add other spices to taste, such as ginger, garlic, or chili powder.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This curried shrimp can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This crisp curried shrimp recipe is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and flavorful meal. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful curry sauce that is made with a variety of spices. The shrimp is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or vegetables.
