Rarely you come across a fish lover who doesn't like prawns .
Prawns can be prepared in various ways and if they are cooked with proper care it's delicacy which hardly anyone can resist .
Today I tried this prawns curry using fennel seeds which gave this curry a very different yet delicious taste .
Ingredients :
2 cups ...............prawns ( shelled n black string removed )
2 ...................... onions ( roughly chopped )
2 .......................tomatoes ( roughly chopped )
1/2 cup .............grated coconut
4 .................... green chillies
2 tbsp .............. fennel seeds
5/6 ..................garlic cloves
2 .................... cardamom
1/2 inch .......... dalchin
4 .......................cloves
1/2 tsp ............. turmeric powder
4 tbsp ............oil
coriander leaves for garnish
salt
Method :
Add little oil in a kadhai and add cloves , cinnamon , cardamom , fennel seeds and garlic cloves .
When it gives out a nice aroma add half the chopped onions and saute for 5 minutes .
Then add grated coconut and green chillies and again saute .
Finally add chopped tomatoes , saute till the raw smell of tomatoes vanishes completely.
Grind the above mixture when a bit cool .
Now heat remaining oil in kadhai and saute the remaining chopped onions .
When onions are golden in colour add cleaned prawns and saute for 2/3 minutes .
Then add the ground paste and stir properly .
Add water as per your need , adjust the salt and bring the gravy to a boil.
Serve hot garnished with chopped coriander.
