What you do
when the hungry bellies are supposed to bang the table for food and you found
your pantry almost empty at the dinner time. Yea it happens sometimes. When it
is pouring down heavily and your lazy limbs, sipping in the cuppas, feel like
enjoying the cozy corners of the home and speculating on anything relishing the
foggy down pour and jingling sound of the rains, avoiding battling with the mud
dirt clad soggy roads of a city life.
Being an
experienced lazy kitchen queen I occasionally face this kind of situation. And
never mind, most of the time I proudly demonstrate to come up with something
very tasty with the limited ingredients handy at that moment. This Tangy Prawns
is one of them. Prawn itself is a taste enhancer and goes brilliantly with the
minimum ingredients. No matter how ever or with whatever you cook with the dish
it will never let you down. I love to keep my freezer crowded with frozen prawns,
chicken breasts and minced chicken as they are my magic wands for the fast and
easy cooking and mainly when I am dead tired to cook. But unfortunately that
day I found only a pack of frozen prawns in the freezer, a tomato puree tetra
pack and coconut milk tetra pack. Without wasting a time I incorporate the
scattering ingredients and cook this Tangy Prawns which paired toppingly with
Kichuri /Kichri (A preparation with rice and lentil). So here the magical dish
I prepared in a tweak moment and no need to say, prawns win over again.
Ingredients:
Prawns-
9-10
Tomato
Puree- 1/2 pack (of the 200gm)
Coconut
Milk- 1/2 pack (of the 200gm)
Chopped
Garlic- handful
Onion - 1
medium (Sliced)
Salt &
Sugar- as per taste.
Oil- 2
tbspoon
Method:-
- Heat
the oil. Shallow fry the prawns with a pinch of salt and reserve.
- Add
chopped garlic. Let them turn brown then add sliced onion. Fry them till
they turn brown.
- Add
the tomato puree and boil for couple of minutes. Add the Prawns, salt and
sugar.
- Add
the coconut milk and keep it cook unless the consistency of the gravy gets
thicken.
- Serve
hot with anything.
Note:
I have
cooked it with the minimum ingredients. You can add and keep new variations.
Like adding coriander/ curry leaves, ginger paste, green chilies and other
spices. You can add potato too.
