Prawns varattiyathu
This prawn varattiyathu or inji chemmeen is again one of my Mom's dishes & my husband's favourite..she makes it without fail every time her son-in-law visits her. I dont remember how many times i must've made this either with fresh or frozen prawns; but when i have the one that she makes, it tastes so much better ..i guess thats what mom's love is all about !
my mom prefers to call it inji chemmeen 'cos it uses more ginger than anything else..its very simple to make ..with minimum ingredients u might wonder 'oh thats all is it done?'
Ingredients:
- prawns (cleaned & deveined) - 250 gms
- chilly powder - 2 tsps
- turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
- salt to taste
- ginger - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
- green chilly - 1 chopped
- curry leaves - 7-8
- coconut oil - 2 tsp
Method :
- cook prawns with 1/2 tsp chilly powder, turmeric powder & salt.
- Heat oil in a pan. throw in the ginger, green chillies & curry leaves.fry for a little while.
- Add remaining chilly powder & saute till the raw smell goes.
- now add prawns with the water (if any) & mix well. Fry for 2 more mts.
- spicy prawns r ready ..enjoy !
