Hello guys today i will discuss about HOW TO MAKE PRAWN MALAI CURRY
Step 1 / 6 Wash The Prawns Thoroughly
To prepare this Chingri Malaikari, remove the hard shell but leave the tail on. De-vein the prawn - slit the back a little and take out the black thread. Carefully remove only the front portion of the head. Do not remove the entire head; retain the liquid inside. Now let’s start.
Step 2 / 6 Marinate Prawns With Turmeric And Salt, And Make Onion Paste
Add turmeric and salt to the prawns and keep them aside for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, grind the onion to a paste.
Step 3 / 6 Fry The Prawns And Add Garlic To The Oil
Heat oil and throw in the prawns. Fry till golden brown and keep aside. In the same oil, add the chopped garlic. As soon as you can smell the garlic, take it out from the oil. So, the oil is now garlic flavoured without any garlic in the gravy.
Step 4 / 6 Add Spices To The Oil Along With Onion Paste And Fry
Add bay leaves. Coarsely pound the cardamom, cloves and cinnamon and add them too. Add the onion paste when the whole garam masala starts to crackle. Continue frying the onion with a little bit of sugar till it turns brown.
Step 5 / 6 Add The Ingredients, Mix Well And Simmer For 25-30 Minutes
Add the ginger paste and cook. Stir and add the can of coconut milk. Add a little water in the can, mix well and add it too. Add red chilli powder, little turmeric powder, salt and green chillies. Mix well and cook. Let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes. If, the prawns are not tender, cook them for another 5-10 minutes.
Step 6 / 6 Add Prawns To The Gravy And Cook
When you see the oil surfacing on the gravy, add the fried prawns. Cook on low flame for some more time till the gravy thickens and becomes creamy. Serve with hot white rice or pulao.
Thank you.
