Hello & Welcome to Archana's Rasoi!
Right from the beginning I have shown you different dal recipes, vegetables, fasting food, diwali sweets, everything vegetarian.
I am sure all of you must be tired with only vegetarian dishes. Let's make something different today.
So today I will show you a non-vegetarian dish, it's called prawns dry or masala!
But to know how to make it you have to keep watching Archana's Rasoi!
This dish will serve 3-4 people. Let's have a look at the ingredients.
4 cups prawns, 2 finely chopped tomatoes, 2 onions finely chopped, coriander according to requirement
1 tbsp red chilli powder or mix masala, salt according to taste, 3/4 tsp asafoetida, 3/4 tsp turmeric powder, 3-4 kokam and 1 whole garlic finely chopped.
2 tbsp oil for frying the masalas and water for cooking the prawns.
So let's start making prawns masala.
Heat approximately 2 tbsp of oil.
Now that the oil has heated, I am adding 3/4 tsp asafoetida.
I am adding asafoetida here because it ensures better digestion when eating fish.
I am adding 3/4 tsp asafoetida.
Then add 3-4 kokam, 3/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1 finely chopped garlic and some coriander. Adding coriander brings out a nice flavour to the dish.
Now add 2 onions finely chopped and 2 finely chopped tomatoes.
Add salt according to taste. We will add the masala later, first let's sauté these ingredients together.
Now that the onions and tomatoes have softened, I will add the masala and prawns.
I am adding approximately 1 tbsp mix masala or red chilli powder and the prawns.
Now that I have added the prawns, mix everything well together.
Now that everything is mixed will together, I will add some water, some coriander and leave the prawns to cook for a couple of minutes.
You can also add chopped potatoes or drumsticks to the prawns masala as a variation.
I have added chopped garlic here but you can also make a seasoning of crushed garlic with red chill powder or a paste of crushed garlic, coriander and green chillies.
However, I am showing you a very quick method of making prawns. But you can make it anyway you like. So now let's add some water for the prawns to cook.
I have added very little water, just enough for the prawns to cook. But incase you want to make a gravy, you can add more water.
Now add some coriander.
Now I will cover the prawns with a lid to ensure they cook for 3-4 minutes under the steam.
The prawns masala is ready. I am going to serve it now.
The prawns masala is best eaten with hot-hot chapatis, bhakris, some hot-hot rice or bread. While all of you savour the flavour, remember to subscribe to India Food Network.
