Prawns Jalfrezi

🇮🇳 Indian

Everything good about an Indian weeknight curry: fragrant whole spices, browned Prawns, softened onions and tomatoes, and a final high-heat reduction that darkens the masala and deepens the flavour.

Prep 10 min Cook 4 min Serves 3 Easy

Ingredients

  • Kashmiri Chili Powder1 tsp
  • Garam Masala1 tsp
  • Tomato Puree2 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic4 cloves, minced
  • Ghee2 tbsp
  • Bell Pepper1, sliced
  • Spring Onions3, cut into batons
  • Prawns400 g, peeled

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantrohandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the ghee or oil in a heavy pan and let the aromatics sizzle until their rawness is gone.

  2. 2

    Sear the Prawns in batches so it browns rather than steams, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook Ghee and Garlic in the same pan until soft and sweet, deglazing with a splash of water.

  4. 4

    Return the Prawns, add the ground spices and salt, and fry hard for two minutes to toast the spices into the meat.

  5. 5

    Pour in just enough water to come halfway, cover, and simmer gently until everything is tender.

  6. 6

    Finish on a high heat to thicken, check the salt, and serve scattered with fresh coriander.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon just before serving lifts every other flavour.
