Prawn Curry in the Microwave

| 13 Comments

Thanks to all for your comments on my mobile. I didnt’ find it back but my number is now back with me. I hadn’t realised how close I was to the mobile – Mobile is a personal friend/companion nowadays! I lost tons of memories with a less than 6 months old mobile :-(

Anyways.. i’m back.. well not exactly to blogging, but em on a 2 weeks vacation to Goa :-) Yes.. you read it right 2 weeks ;-) Anyone J ? :D

This is my last post 2007 and an entry to Srivallis’ Microwave cooking event MEC: Gravies. This dish just came up..
Imagine you run out of Gas (Cooking walah ofcourse!) and you want to prepare humman. This is a nice prawn curry to make when you wish to eat prawns :-)

Ingredients:
12-14 cleaned prawns
1 medium onion
1 small tomato
3-4 garlic pods
1/4 – 1/2 tea spn turmeric powder
1/2 – 1 tea spn chilli powder
1 cup coconut milk
salt to taste
1 tea spn oil
green coriander for garnishing

Method:
Chop garlic, onion and tomato finely.

I cooked this dish on high power (100%). Adjust power as per your microwave.

Heat the microwave safe glass bowl for 30 sec.
Add oil in it and heat for another 40 sec.

Now add in garlic and onions. Spread properly and heat for 1 min.
Add in the tomato,turmeric, chilli and salt, and heat for 40 secs.
Add the prawns and keep for 30 secs.

Add a little water to the coconut milk if it’s thick. Add this to the sauteed prawns. Microwave for 5-7 mins or till it boils

In the microwave

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with hot steamed rice :-)

  7. Yummy dish:) i wish i cud make prawns, my hubby has an allergy , but i just love it:) ……hope you had a fun time on new year’s eve, wish u and family a happy new year :)

  8. Hi Ashu,

    we also love humman but here in Usa we don’t get the kind of prawns we get in India. I prepare it a littlle diff.
    love reading ur blog and goan recipes.

  9. All the dishes, their photographs and the distinctly native Goan terminology has been priceless for me since I discovered your website just yesterday. This website is like a temple for the native food-lovers. Sungatanche humman (with Tefal variation) brings me my childhood and mother’s memories which are invaluable.

    will be visiting Goa shortly (after nearly 4 years since currently live in Canada)and look forward to “pigging out” everyday during the short stay.

    Thanks for originating and managing this website. Keep up the distinctly Goan touch.

    Best wishes in your professional pursuits @Bangalore.

  10. quick question I apparently forgot to ask:

    most of our dishes like Masoorchen Tonak, humman, moogan-ganthi etc. while divine in taste are made typically in cocoanut medium. is there a healthier medium substitute that would sort of “replace” the cocoanut and still offer the gravy for most of the “wet dishes” that we all love?

  11. Hi Does anyone know the botanical name of Tefala…
    The spice used in Goan Mackrel Fish Curry…

  12. how about a good recipe for jeera rice?
