Ingredients

• 2 lbs of shrimp, cleaned and with tails cut off
• 1½ inch piece of ginger
• 1 whole pod of garlic
• 1 onion
• 2-4 green chilies
• 6 tomatoes for gravy
• 1½ tsp of turmeric
• Salt, to taste
• 4 tbsp oil

Directions

Pour the oil in a pan. Once warm sauté the garlic, ginger, and green chili paste. Once it is light brown in colour and you get a good fragrance, add the onions — they can be chopped or made into a paste.

Add salt and turmeric. Once all these ingredients are sautéed add the blended or finely chopped tomatoes to make a reasonable amount of gravy.

The last thing you add is shrimp. Cook for 5 minutes, not more otherwise it becomes tough and chewy. Sprinkle finely cut green coriander over the curry. Serve with rice.
