SPICY GOAN SHRIMP CURRY WITH EGGPLANT
Taken from Ruta Kahate's "5 Spices, 50 dishes" and not modified in any way - this is the best curry I have ever eaten and had to share it with you. If you have a chance to buy Ruta's book do so - it is the best cookbook I have ever bought and the only cookbook I have done every recipe out of, it's just that amazing. A few notes: -- DO use seeds and finely grind them in a mortar and pestle - the flavors aren't quite the same if you use already ground spices. If you can't find seeds, then substitute it in the same quantities. -- If your family isn't keen on tough eggplant skins, you can peel them. -- Eggplants go from "undercooked and spongy" to "just well done pefection" to plain mush in a very short period of time. Watch them closely. We want a tofu consistency. -- Tomato sauce can be used in place of the small tomato in a pinch. About 1/3-1/2 cup will do. -- If you like less spicy, cut down on cayenne pepper. The Serranos actually cook down and taste like a bell pepper when done.

- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and saute the onion until softened.

- Add eggplants, chilies and salt, and mix well.
- Cover and cook over low heat until eggplant is soft, about 10 minutes.

- When shrimp begins to turn pink, add coconut milk and water. Continue simmering, uncovered, until shrimp is cooked through, another 5-8 minutes.
- Very gently stir in the vinegar and remove from heat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
- This curry tastes even better the next day just reheat gently over low heat stirring carefully once in a while until just warmed to prevent overcooking the shrimp.
- Serve with any plain rice or quinoa - my favorite.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweet, briny flavor and a firm texture. Avoid shrimp that is frozen or has a slimy texture.
- Choose the right type of curry paste: There are many different types of curry paste available, each with its own unique flavor profile. For this recipe, I recommend using a red curry paste, which is a medium-heat paste with a slightly sweet flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, be sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Add vegetables: Feel free to add vegetables to this curry, such as bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli. This will make the dish more colorful and nutritious.
- Serve with rice or noodles: This curry is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with naan bread or roti.
Conclusion:
This spicy shrimp curry is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked in a creamy and flavorful curry sauce that is packed with spices. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
