This is typical East Indian style prawn curry which is made without the use of coconut .I have already posted prawn curry with bhindi and Prawn Kanji curry before which are very famous in our cuisine but they both have coconut in them.We use a lot of coconut in our fish & meat curries also in our vegetables & foogaths .At times I get bored of the coconut curries then we make such simple curries like this .I have also posted before one simple recipe of fresh bombay duck fish curry chichavani which are very simple curries but yet very delicious and taste absolutely divine with some hot piping rice.
This curry is pretty simple & easy to prepare there is no grinding needed .The key ingredient is the Bottle Masala which is prepared in bulk for the rest of the year during summers in every East Indian Catholic family .I will be posting the recipe soon in coming month. The bottle masala makes the simplest curry tasty we use it for fish ,meat and vegetables too.You will easily find it in any cold storage & markets in Mumbai.
This curry also taste good with fish masala too if you cannot find the bottle masala you just will need to add some coriander cumin powder ..
Ingredients:
10-15 prawns deveined
1 tbsp bottle masala/fish masala
3 green chillies slitted
5-6 garlic chopped
1 inch ginger chopped
a sprig curry leaves
2 potatoes cut into quarters
1 tomato finely chopped
2 onions finely chopped
1 tsp tamarind pulp
1/2 tsp turmeric powder/haldi
salt to taste
2 tbsp oil
Method:

I've never heard of "bottle masala". Need to look that up. What a delicious and healthy way to eat shrimp. Love the seasoning and would definitely needs some rice or bread to make sure that I don't lose any of the curry sauce.
i am sure this recipe will turn out great. Please let me know when to put the tamarind pulp. it is in the ingredients but not in the method
Mentioned in the method now ..thank you
