I found this recipe from Anna Jones in ” Around the World in 80 dishes” by David Loftus.
Ingredients
- 600 raw king prawns peeled and deveined
- sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- Vegetable or groundnut oil
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon nigella seeds (kalonji)
- 3-4 fresh green chillies cut in half lengthways
- 4 bunches of spring onions trimmed and sliced
- ½ teaspoon Chilli powder
Servings:
Instructions
- Put the prawns into a bowl and season with a pinch of salt. Sprinkle over half the turmeric and stir, then set aside for 15 minutes to marinate.
- Put a couple of tablespoons of oil into a large deep frying pan over a high heat. Add the prawns and fry for 2 minutes or so on each side until golden brown, then remove to a plate and set aside.
- Add a little more oil to the pan and put back on the heat. Put in the potato cubes and fry until golden, then add the nigella seeds and the chillies.
- Add the spring onions and cook until lightly browned and softened, then stir in the remaining turmeric, the chilli powder and a little salt.
- Pour in a mugful of water, cover with a lid and simmer until the potatoes are cooked through, stirring from time to time and adding more water if it looks too dry.
- Return the prawns to the pan and cook for a further minute or so to warm them through. Serve with warm chapattis and simple basmati rice.
