If you are fond of seafood, here's one helluva nice prawn dish that you will simply love !
get about 1/2 k of medium sized prawns. Clean them and de vein them. Put half a lemon and some salt into them, mix it up nice and leave it for the time being.
take all your masala -
Cumin Seeds
Red chilli powder
Whole red chillies
Turmeric (very little)
Pepper corns (only the balls)
small bay leaf
put it all on a frying pan and without any oil, just saute them on the heated tawa. In about 5 mins you will see the cumin seeds turning dark brown. Its time to take them all out and put it into a crushing pan. Its called 'Silbatta' in hindi. You can use the mixi as well. The idea is to crush all this masala together. Put 5 - 6 cloves of garlic in it and keep crushing till you dont get a red powdery mixture. It will smell heavenly !!
Then, heat about 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan. Keep the flame low. 20 seconds before you throw in the masala, raise the heat to full and quickly stir the masala. Remember to keep stirring all the time.
After about 5 mins of masala cooking, put in the prawns. Stir quickly and keep stirring on a high flame for about 3 - 5 mins till prawns dont curl up completely.
Finally, just before taking them off the flame, pour in table spoons of white rum (black will do just fine) and shake the prawns. IT CAN CATCH FIRE SO STAY AWAY FROM THE PAN. Keep the prawns moving around the pan at all times.
Finally, turn them over onto a nice plate and enjoy with with some chilled beer or any cold drink.
Tip: Keep the ginger, red chilli powder in control, else it'll become too hot to eat.
