Goa Jingha Curry Aka Goan Prawn Curry Recipes

Steps:

• In a heatproof bowl, soak the tamarind pulp in the boiling water, covered, until softened, 30 minutes. Strain through a coarse sieve; discard the seeds.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet, combine the peppercorns, dried red chiles, coriander seeds, cumin seeds and cinnamon and toast over moderate heat until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a spice grinder to cool. Grind to a fine powder.
• Heat the oil in a large enameled cast-iron casserole. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add half of the shrimp to the casserole and cook over moderately high heat until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the casserole. Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, ground spices and green chiles. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 3 minutes.
• Stir the water and the strained tamarind pulp into the casserole. Return the shrimp to the casserole and bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Add the coconut milk and simmer for 20 minutes longer. Transfer the remaining chicken to the plate and simmer the sauce until very flavorful, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the sauce. Simmer the chicken until heated through before serving.

Steps:

• Peel, devein, and rinse prawns. Rub with a generous amount of salt.
• Combine coconut, chile peppers, garlic, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a food processor and process to a paste (masala).
• Heat oil in a saucepan. Add onion and saute until browned, about 5 minutes. Add masala along with turmeric powder and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add water and bring to a boil.

• Turn off heat and let it stand for a few minutes until curry has thickened.

Steps:

• Mix together all the marinade ingredients to give you a loose, smooth paste. Add the chicken pieces and coat them in the paste. They are best left to marinate for around 30 minutes to 1 hour, but if you're in a hurry a few minutes will do.
• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and add the mustard seeds. When they start to pop and jump about in the pan, add the onion and garlic. Cook until they're golden brown before adding the chicken and any extra paste from the marinade. Fry over a gentle heat for about 8 minutes before adding the coconut milk. Increase the heat slightly and bring to a simmer. Cook for a further 10-12 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly before seasoning with salt if necessary and serving with rice or naan bread.

Steps:

• Heat the coconut oil in a casserole or wok over a medium heat and add the onions, dried chillies, ginger, garlic, curry leaf and mustard seeds, fry for 12-15 mins until the onion is soft, then stir in the tomato purée, chilli and turmeric and continue to cook for 1-2 mins more. Pour in the coconut milk and 200ml water, simmer the sauce for 20 mins, then blitz in a blender or with a hand blender until smooth.
• Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and bring up to a simmer. Stir in the cauliflower and potato, cover and simmer for 15 mins. Add the prawns and poach for 2 mins, or until they turn pink. If freezing, cool and freeze, then defrost and reheat when you're ready to eat. To serve, scatter the spring onions, coriander and peanuts over the curry and squeeze over a little lime juice.
