Prawns tangy stir fry

We are fish eaters, or better way to say is core non vegetarians. 
Prawns are one among our loved sea foods, I think most of the fish lovers are obsessed with this, and I have seen even vegetarians who starts with fish tries Prawns as their first experience. 

This is a tangy stir fry with Onions, Green bell peppers and tomatoes. 


Ingredients:

Prawns, de-shelled, deveined and cleaned - 1 cup
Green bell peppers sliced - 1/2 cup
Onion sliced - 1/2 cup
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Spring onions chopped - 1 tbsp
Green chillies, slit - 2
Tomatoes pureed - 1/4 cup
Tomatoes chopped - 1 small
Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
Garlic chopped - 1 tbsp
Ginger Sliced - 1 inch
Tomato Ketchup- 1 tbsp
Soy sauce - 2 tsp
Oil for sautéing (I used coconut oil)

Masalas
Chilly powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Garam Masala - 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:

In a pan pour coconut oil and sputter the cumin seeds. Add garlic and ginger and sauce for a minute. Add onions, green chillies and sauce till translucent, do not over cook. Now add bell peppers and sauce for 1 to 2 minutes. Add masalas and mix well, cook until masalas raw smell is gone. Add prawns, tomatoes and cook until done. Prawns should not be over cooked, so no need to add water. The water from prawns is enough to cook it through. Once half cooked add tomato paste and tomato ketchup, soy sauce and cook till done. Add lemon juice and mix well. Serve hot.

I served it with home made Dosa. Side it up with Raw veggies and hummus. A smoothie for final touch up :)

This can be paired with Appam, Puttu, Oratti or even boiled rice. This goes well with all of those.

Pidiyum Tharavu Mappasum - Rice dumplings and Duck curry in coconut milk

My Christmas 2017 was based on traditional dishes of Kerala. You would be very familiar with the name Pidiyum Kozhiyum, which is of course one of the favorites at my home. This time I thought, let me make some difference in usual culture and thought to accompany Pidi with Tharavu mappas, which is Duck curry in coconut milk. Duck is my favorite too, and Duck items would be in my Christmas spread always. I started the day with Duck stew, which is another authentic dish of Kerala. Of course again, coconut milk, coz as Mallus we just go on lavish with Coconut milk :D This recipe is common in Christian families and a breakfast item. I being a Hindu has explored these things after my marriage, where I had a big kitchen for experimenting my things. Indeed to say, that was my experimentation lab which has gained me confidence to cook and take my passion along the way, and of course my audience has changed now, their count is more and the youngsters are ready to try out all new researches. ...

Inji curry - Ginger curry pickle

Inji curry is one among the dish in any Kerala Sadya spread and it is called with a name " nooru kootan" in malayalam to give the impression of impact of this dish. It means equivalent to 100 curries. You can see this man in every sadya holding the first place in the plantain leaf and is served first in the leaf based on some belief I guess. I m a big fan of Kerala sadya, of course a foodie like me loves every food and how can I miss our own Sadya, which is supposed to be the biggest spread in terms of number of side dishes and rounds it carries. A few things to make you understand about the rounds of sadya; I m from the south part of Kerala, Trivandrum which is the most famous place for veggie sadya in plantain leaf. The Sadya here consists of at least 20 side dishes in on side of leaf with Pappad, chips, fried chilly, and one side is reserved for the rounds of rice. First round of rice starts with moong dal curry and ghee. Yet another specialty of Trivandrum is this ...
