Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 24

750 g (1½lbs) shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tbsp butter
1 onion (finely diced)
4 garlic cloves (minced)
2 tsp minced ginger
10 curry leaves ((optional))
1½ tbsp Garam Masala
½ tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp sugar ((optional))
1 cup stock
1½ cups heavy / whipping cream
1-2 tsp lemon juice (to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste )
½ cup warm water
10 g (2tsp) instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
2½-3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
½ cup plain yogurt
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the Naan bread: Whisk the yeast and sugar into the water and allow to stand for a few minutes until foamy.
  • Add 2½ cups flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment.
  • Pour in the yeast mixture, yogurt and oil. Knead on low speed until the dough comes together. If the dough is very sticky add more flour.
  • Allow to knead until the dough is soft and smooth. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rise for 1 hour.
  • Once risen, break off small handfuls of the dough and roll out on a floured surface.
  • Heat a large skillet then add the dough. Cover with a lid and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until the dough is blistered. Carefully flip over and allow to cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove from the pan and brush with melted butter.
  • For the curry: Season the shrimp with salt and garam masala and toss well. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large, deep frying pan and brown the shrimp on both sides. Remove and set aside.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in the pan then add the onions. Cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and spices and cook for another 30 seconds.
  • Add the stock, sugar, cream and lemon juice. Bring the sauce to a simmer then allow to cook for 7-10 minutes or until the sauce has reduced slightly. I prefer the sauce to be a little looser in consistency but you can thicken the sauce with cornstarch/corn flour if you prefer a thicker sauce.
  • Once the sauce is the consistency you like, add the shrimp back in to the sauce and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
  • Serve the curry with rice and naan bread.

There is a lovely picture of it there.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose Fresh Shrimp: For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices helps tenderize and flavor them. You can marinate the shrimp for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the curry from sticking.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pot: When adding the shrimp to the pot, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the Curry Over Medium Heat: Cooking the curry over medium heat will help prevent the spices from burning.
  • Add the Coconut Milk at the End: Adding the coconut milk at the end of the cooking process will help preserve its flavor and creaminess.

Conclusion:

This traditional Tamilan shrimp curry is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. The combination of fresh shrimp, aromatic spices, and creamy coconut milk creates a curry that is both satisfying and comforting. Whether you serve it with rice, roti, or naan, this curry is sure to be a hit.
