Goa Jingha Curry Aka Goan Prawn Curry image

This is spice that is moderate by my terms and moderate by eaters of seriously authentic indian food. If you're sensitive to spice...be careful as you add the jalapenos because you might be sensitive to the red chiles. My way: 6 whole red chiles, soaked in oil, added to recipe but removed before serving. I use 1-3 whole jalapenos or 1-2 jalapenos and a habanero...but I'm brave! Also works for chicken, beef, lamb etc! I only use about a pound or two of shrimp because I like a heavy sauce. If you're serving for commercialized indian appetites, you may want to blend the entire sauce. I like to simmer it first, blend it, then add the red chiles and shrimp. You can also drain off half of the sauce after cooking and blend it briefly. Your choice!

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup tamarind paste
1 cup boiling water
10 fresh cracked black pepper
6 dried red chilies, seeded
1 tablespoon coriander
1 teaspoon cumin
one cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 -3 lb shrimp
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, minced
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 green fresh jalapenos, seeded and chopped
3 cups water
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk

Steps:

  • In a heatproof bowl, soak the tamarind pulp in the boiling water, covered, until softened, 30 minutes. Strain through a coarse sieve; discard the seeds.
  • Meanwhile, in a small skillet, combine the peppercorns, dried red chiles, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and cinnamon and toast over moderate heat until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a spice grinder to cool. Grind to a fine powder.
  • Heat the oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add half of the shrimp to the casserole and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the casserole. Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, ground spices and green chiles. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 3 minutes.
  • Stir the water and the strained tamarind pulp into the casserole. Return the shrimp to the casserole and bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Add the coconut milk and simmer for 20 minutes longer. Transfer the remaining chicken to the plate and simmer the sauce until very flavorful, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the sauce. Simmer the chicken until heated through before serving.

I'm allergic to prawns. Is there a way to make this curry without them?

This recipe looks delicious, but I don't have any prawns. Can I use another type of seafood?

I followed the recipe exactly, but my curry didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have used the wrong type of coconut milk.

This curry is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili next time.

I'm not a huge fan of prawns, but I loved this curry! The sauce is so flavorful and creamy.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The prawns cook in just a few minutes, and the curry sauce comes together in no time.

I've made this curry a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The Goan spices give it a unique flavor that everyone loves.

This Goan prawn curry is absolutely delicious! The flavors are complex and well-balanced, and the prawns are cooked perfectly. I served it with basmati rice and a side of yogurt, and it was a hit with my family.
