Prawn Madras
« on: December 23, 2004, 09:43 AM »
Basic Prawn or Chicken Madras recipe (my own) ? comes out really good you will scare yourself.

This makes 1 curry so just increase for 2
Required
Black mustard seeds (small amount about 20-30 seeds
Ground fenugreek powder (1.5 teaspoons)
Long thin Green Chilli?s (optional but adds that extra)
Chilli Powder
Pinch garam massala
Vegetable Oil (pour in a good glug)
Fresh Bunch Coriander (leaves and use the stalks)
Tomatoes x 2 (I use tesco finest on the vine)
Onion (half a small red or white onion ? dice this really fine, or cut them long and thin)
I packet of fresh prawns from tesco or 1 diced chicken breast (pre-cooked)
2.5 ladles of the curry sauce you just made above and have stored in your fridge

?   Heat oil in wok on highest level.
?   Add mustard seeds wait till they pop, add fenugreek powder, stir this with a small spoon fast for 40 seconds
?   Add Green Chilli (cut up, whole or with the ends cut off) - optional
?   Add onions and watch them fry for 1 minute or a tiny bit more
?   Now add the tomatoes and prawns (don?t pour in any prawn juice, rinse them first) and fry for another 1 minute.
?   Add 2.5 ladles of the curry sauce made earlier
?   Stir all the time and turn down heat to low
?   Add half a cup of warm water (cook this out, i.e until sauce is think again)
?   Add chilli powder (1 teaspoon or 2)
?   Add some diced coriander stalks
?   Add some chopped coriander
?   Add a pinch or so of Garam Masala
?   Stir and cook for 7 ? 8 mins (this will reduce the cup of water down)
?   Take off heat and leave to cool for 5 minutes
?   Pour over basmati rice and top with fresh coriander.
