Prawns / Shrimp Olathiyathu Kerala Style

Two dishes I like, sorry love :) with prawns are prawns olathiyathu and prawns with chakkakuru (jackfruit seed) in coconut milk yumm...


Whatever we make, we always crave food that our mom makes. After having this dish, I became proud as it tastes exactly the same as my mom's, thanks to maria's recipe. 


I am including one more photo simply because it looks good.

The recipe ..


Ingredients

• 750gm Prawns peeled
• 4 medium onion thinely sliced
• 1 tsp ginger crushed
• 1 tsp garlic crushed
• 1 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 3 pieces kokum (kudampuli) washed and soaked in water
• salt to taste
• 2 stalks curry leaves 
• oil

Method

1. Clean and wash the prawns. Mix half of the turmeric powder, half of ginger, half of garlic, kokum, curry leaves and salt with the prawns. Add 1/4 cup of water and cook. Be careful not to over cook it. It took only 10 minutes for me.
2. Fry sliced onion in a frying pan with oil until it becomes brown. Add the remaining chopped ginger and garlic. Saute for couple of minutes more then add chilli powder and turmeric powder. Saute until the oil starts coming out.
3. Add the cooked prawns discarding the water. Put salt to taste.Mix well and keep in reduced flame for 5 more minutes, stirring in between .

Happy cooking!
