Alu Kopi diye Chingrir Kalia

Prawn curry with vegetables (Alu Kopi Chingrir Torkari/kalia)

A Bengali household side dish that's wholesome and tasty.


Recipe

Mix 200gm medium sized tiger prawns with a little turmeric and salt.

Heat some oil and fry.  Remove once they change colour and soften.

Fry cubed potatoes and some cauliflower florets. Strain and keep aside. 

Add jeera, 2 chopped onions and fry till golden brown. Add 2 tablespoons ginger garlic paste and 1 chopped tomato, and one or two slit green chillis. 

Add 1/2 teaspoon each of turmeric, chilli, coriander powder, salt to taste, and 1/2 teaspoon sugar. Keep stirring till it becomes a mushy paste. Moisten with water and slowly add the fried prawns. 


Warm half cup water and add coconut powder/coconut milk. Stir and add to the pan. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Garnish with ghee, garam masala powder and coriander leaves.

Adding coconut milk is my little touch 😋 

Tastes good with both rice and rotis.
