Prawn Masala

I began by marinating the washed, de-veined shrimp in the ginger and garlic pastes, 1/2 tbsp lemon juice, some salt and also the spice powders: turmeric, coriander and chilli

After 20 minutes, add maybe 1/4 cup of water to it and bring the shrimp along with the marinade juice to a boil. Five minutes later, remove it from the heat and drain the water

Next heat some oil in a pan, and add the cumin seeds, curry leaves and the onions. Once the onions have softened, add the shrimp and the garam masala and stir fry for 4-5 minutes. Once the garam masala goes from a raw smell to fragant smell, add the left over lemon juice, give it a quick toss and transfer to a serving bowl

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves
