Prawn Curry in the Microwave :-)

Thanks to all for your comments on my mobile. I didnt’ find it back but my number is now back with me. I hadn’t realised how close I was to the mobile - Mobile is a personal friend/companion nowadays! I lost tons of memories with a less than 6 months old mobile

Anyways.. i’m back.. well not exactly to blogging, but em on a 2 weeks vacation to Goa Yes.. you read it right 2 weeks Anyone J ?

This is my last post 2007 and an entry to Srivallis’ Microwave cooking event MEC: Gravies. This dish just came up..
Imagine you run out of Gas (Cooking walah ofcourse!) and you want to prepare humman. This is a nice prawn curry to make when you wish to eat prawns

Ingredients:
12-14 cleaned prawns
1 medium onion
1 small tomato
3-4 garlic pods
1/4 - 1/2 tea spn turmeric powder
1/2 - 1 tea spn chilli powder
1 cup coconut milk
salt to taste
1 tea spn oil
green coriander for garnishing

Method:
Chop garlic, onion and tomato finely.

I cooked this dish on high power (100%). Adjust power as per your microwave.

Heat the microwave safe glass bowl for 30 sec.
Add oil in it and heat for another 40 sec.

Now add in garlic and onions. Spread properly and heat for 1 min.
Add in the tomato,turmeric, chilli and salt, and heat for 40 secs.
Add the prawns and keep for 30 secs.

Add a little water to the coconut milk if it’s thick. Add this to the sauteed prawns. Microwave for 5-7 mins or till it boils

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with hot steamed rice

Wishing you all a Very Very Happy New Year in advance !

 

Aadoli

Aadoli is generally used as a coconut grater and vegetable chopper. This will always be found in all ranchikuds’ in Goa.
In Maharashtra, a similar one but smaller aadoli is used.
