Instructions
In a small pan, add the spices(coriander seeds, fennel, black pepper, curry leaves and red chillies). On low heat, toss and dry fry them. Once it slightly turns brown and you can smell the spices, turn off the flame and powder it. Set aside. Place a pan on medium heat, add oil. Add the ginger garlic paste and saute it for a minute. Add in the onions and saute it for a minute, add the turmeric and salt. Saute. Add the spice powder and toss and saute in oil for 30 seconds before you add the tomatoes. Add the tomatoes and cook the tomatoes for about 2 minutes. Then add the shrimp and season with salt. Add 2 tsp of water, which helps to collect all the spices from the bottom of the pan and helps it from sticking and scorching. Cook for 5 minutes covered, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are pink and opaque. Open the lid and dry the shrimp masala. Stir in the cilantro and serve with rice and daal.View original recipe
