Tamilian Shrimp Curry image

ZWT6 Asia, South India/Sri Lanka. Here is what the original poster says about this dish, "This recipe traces its origin to the southern coastal region of Tamil Nadu. I got this charming recipe from a fish selling person (who regularly supplies fish to my father's house) and I love it because of its simplicity." http://elitefoods.blogspot.com. There is a lovely picture of it there.

Time 40m

Yield 2 3/4 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

approximately 30 fresh uncooked shrimp
1 cup water
2 tablespoons shredded coconut (I think they are referring to fresh, I'd use a dash coconut milk too if using the dried stuff!)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
2 tablespoons freshly ground coriander
1 inch slice ginger
2 green chilies, split in half
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
sea salt
1 teaspoon oil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed (sombu)
2 whole curry leaves (neem leaves)

Steps:

  • Wash srimp. Remove veins and remove shells.
  • Bring water to a boil in a pot.
  • Add chopped onion and tomato (I may fry it in a little oil first until soft).
  • Grind shredded coconut , cumin ,turmeric, black pepper, & ground coriander in a spice or coffee mill.
  • Add this spice mixture and the fresh ginger to the boiling pot of water, onion and tomatoes.
  • Add the shrimp and cook covered over a low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a small frying pan and fry fennel seeds until (reddish) brown then add the curry leaves and green chilli.
  • When shrimp is cooked pour in fennel mixture.
  • Check for salt.
  • The consistency should be watery like sambar.
  • Coastal region shrimp kulambu (not sure of this words meaning, I think it means easy curry) is ready!
  • Serve hot with plain steamed rice.
