Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Coconut oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
Thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 red or green chili, deseeded (if you like) and finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 eggplant, grated or finely sliced
1/4 pound cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 1/4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 pound raw tiger shrimp, peeled
1 large handful baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a large sauté pan and fry the onion, garlic, ginger and chili for 2 to 3 minutes to soften, stirring frequently. Stir in the spices and season well with a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to fry over medium heat for a further minute or two until fragrant. Transfer the mixture to a mini food processor and blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if necessary to loosen the consistency to a paste.
  • Return the pan to the heat and put in another tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the paste and fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggplant and sauté for a minute or two, stirring to coat it with the paste, before adding the cherry tomatoes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk and the shrimp and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the sauce has just thickened. Stir in the spinach, wilt for a minute, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

GOAN SHRIMP CURRY



Goan Shrimp Curry image

Goa, on India's west coast, is tropical, by the sea, and a haven for tourists from Israel, Germany, the United Kingdom, and, indeed, the entire affluent world, which cannot get enough of its easy ways, its sun and sand. Some of the best food in Goa is not in its expensive resorts but in thatched shacks right on the sea. The fish is always fresh, and usually nothing can beat the fiery shrimp (called prawns here) curry, served with a mound of short-grained local rice. Serve with Plain Jasmine Rice and a green or salad of your choice.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
2 finely chopped medium shallots
1/4 teaspoon or more cayenne pepper, as preferred
2 teaspoons bright red paprika
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 1/4 cups coconut milk from a well-shaken can
1 pound large or medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (or 12 ounces peeled and deveined shrimp)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Pour the oil into a frying pan or sauté pan and set over medium heat. When hot, put in the shallots. Stir and fry until they turn light brown. Take the pan off the heat and add the cayenne, paprika, black pepper, and turmeric. Stir once or twice and put the pan back on the heat. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer, stirring to mix. Turn heat to low. Put in the shrimp, salt, and lemon juice. Stir and cook on low heat until the shrimp just turn opaque.

75 ml water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp and eggplant.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of chili peppers in the recipe to your own taste.
