4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 pieces cardamom
2 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
2 Oz (50g) onion, chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped green chilli
3/4 Oz (20g) tomato paste
3 teaspoons tomato juice
2 teaspoons chilli powder
2 teaspoons turmeric powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 teaspoons coriander powder
1 pound (500g) prawns, shelled, with tails left intact
4 tablespoons water (optional)
Handful coriander leaves, chopped roughly
1 tsp crushed black peppercorns
1 /2 tsp garam masala (make your own garam masala recipe :



Heat oil in a pan. When smoking hot, add cardamom, cloves and the cinnamon
stick. Stir-fry for 10 to 20 seconds or until fragrant. Add chopped onion.
Mix well for another 20 seconds until the onions turn light brown. Then
add 1 tablespoon chopped ginger and the garlic. Mix well for 10 to 20
seconds. Add the green chilli, remaining 1 tablespoon chopped ginger,
tomato paste and tomato juice. Mix well and stir continuously for about 5
minutes so that the mixture doesn't burn. Add the chilli powder, turmeric
powder, salt and coriander powder. Continue to stir-fry over a medium fire
until the oil separates from the mixture. This takes 1 to 2 minutes. Once
the oil separates, add the fresh prawns and mix well. If the mixture looks
dry, add water and continue cooking for at most another 5 minutes. When
prawns are cooked, add coriander leaves and black peppercorns. Mix well
and add garam masala. Serve hot with parata or yellow rice.
