KERALAN SCALLOP MOLEE

Try an opulent curry with scallops and tomatoes for the taste of Kerala. Or, for a less pricey version, you could use prawns and chunks of meaty white fish

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Fish Course, Main course

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

600g (shelled weight) queen scallops , cleaned
1 tbsp coconut or groundnut oil
½ tsp black mustard seeds
¼ tsp cumin seeds
1 onion , very finely chopped
2 green chillies , halved, deseeded and finely sliced
4 garlic cloves , very finely chopped
2.5 cm cube of ginger , peeled and grated
20 curry leaves (or 40 dried)
½ tsp ground turmeric
400ml can coconut milk
12 cherry tomatoes , halved
squeeze of lime juice or lemon juice (to taste)
1½ tbsp chopped fresh coriander , to serve
plain boiled rice , to serve

Steps:

  • Look at the scallops to find a little white bit at the side - this becomes tough when cooked, so cut it off (watch our how to prepare scallops video to find out more). If you have small queen scallops, you probably won't need to halve them, but if you have large ones, slice them in half horizontally.
  • Heat the oil and add the mustard and cumin seeds. Cook until the mustard seeds start to pop, then add the onion, chillies, garlic, ginger and curry leaves. Cook for 12 mins or until the onion is golden and the ginger no longer tastes 'raw'. Add the turmeric, cook for 1 min, then add the coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, season and add the tomatoes. Cook for 12-15 mins or until the mixture is slightly thicker and reduced. (If you want to cook this in advance - and the base does taste better after a day in the fridge - stop now, cool and chill. When reheating, bring it to just under the boil before you add the scallops.)
  • Add the scallops (and prawns or fish, if using) and cook gently for 5 mins (longer if you're using meaty chunks of fish fillet) or until cooked through. Add lime or lemon juice to taste and season well. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice.

SHRIMP AND SCALLOP CURRY

Provided by John Phillips

Categories     Milk/Cream     Ginger     Rice     Shellfish     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Scallop     Shrimp     Curry     Cilantro     Bon Appétit     Hawaii

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 1/2 pounds uncooked large shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 pound sea scallops
6 green onions, chopped
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice, freshly cooked
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add curry powder; stir 1 minute. Add shrimp, scallops and green onions. Sauté just until shrimp turn pink, about 4 minutes. Add cream and lemon peel. Simmer until shrimp and scallops are just opaque in center and sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Mound rice in large shallow bowl. Top with seafood curry, then cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality scallops. Look for scallops that are firm and opaque, with a slightly sweet smell. Avoid scallops that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
  • Sear the scallops properly. Searing the scallops in a hot pan creates a caramelized crust that locks in the flavor and prevents them from becoming tough.
  • Don't overcook the scallops. Scallops are delicate and cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a flavorful curry paste. The curry paste is what gives this dish its flavor, so it's important to use a good-quality paste. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a well-balanced flavor.
  • Add vegetables to your liking. This recipe is flexible, so you can add any vegetables that you like. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, carrots, and broccoli.

Conclusion:

Curry scallops and rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The scallops are seared until golden brown, then simmered in a flavorful curry sauce. The rice is cooked in the same pot as the scallops, making this a one-pot meal. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
