I don't know if any of you have got a hold of Anjum Anand's 'I love curry' cookbook, but I cant praise it enough! She uses every day ingredients and comes up with super meals. So this morning, I was staring at my packet of fish and was wondering what to cook for the evening meal. I flicked through Anjum's book and decided to try her prawn karahi recipe. The photo just sold it to me and as I had everything in my cupboard that suited me as well! With my son having his nap a busy mommy needs efficient recipes! I have tweaked it to suit baby and toddler and still keep the hubby happy! I used white fish for this recipe, but if you want to use prawns as Anjum did then feel free!
For a family of four I used:
two fillets of white deboned fish chopped into 4 pieces
4 tspns ghee
1 small onion finely chopped
1 tbspn fresh grated ginger
5 cloves grated garlic
1/2 can of chopped tomatoes
1 tspn ground coriander (dhaniya powder)
1 tspn ground cumin (jeera powder)
1/2 tspn carom seeds (ajwain)
2 pinches of dry fenugreek leaves (methi leaves)
1 tspn garam masala
squeeze of lemon juice
pinch of tumeric
1. In a bowl, put the fish with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of haldi. Stir together and set aside
2. In a karahi or sautee pan, add the ghee and once hot brown the onions
3. Next add the grated ginger and garlic and sautee for a few minutes
4. Add the tomatoes, coriander powder, cumin powder, carom seeds and fenugreek leaves
5. Cook for 15 minutes and you will see the color intensify and the ghee starting to separate from the masala paste. Transfer into a small bowl and keep aside
6. In the pan, add a little more ghee, and add the fish and cook for a minute or so
7. Now add the garam masala and the masala paste that you set aside and 50 ml water. Cook for a further two minutes
Remove baby's portion and add salt to the rest of the family's meal. Serve with rice or rotis...Thanks Anjum!
