MADHUR JAFFREY'S SHRIMP IN THE MAHARASHTRIAN MANNER



Madhur Jaffrey's Shrimp in the Maharashtrian Manner image

This recipe has served me well for many years. It is a very lovely mixture of flavors, aromas and textures and seems like it should have been much more work than it actually is. Ms. Jaffrey describes the dish as a "quick dish which you can make with prawns (shrimps) or any firm fleshed fish that can be cut into thick steaks or chunks. Serve with rice and vegetables suchas stuffed Okra, carrots with Dill and Puréed Vegetables." I have also substituted drained pressed tofu for the shrimp and it was equally but differently delicious. I have given the ingredient list in avoirdupois and skipped the metric measurements which she used in her book.

1/2 cup plus 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons brown mustard seeds

Madhur's Spiced Basmati Rice Madhur's Spiced Basmati Rice

Steps:

  • Gently rub the shrimp with 1/2 cup coarse salt. Wash shrimp under cold running water, and place in a colander. Drain well.
  • Using a spice grinder, coarsely grind mustard seeds. Transfer ground seeds to a medium stainless-steel bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water, and combine. Add onion, chile, turmeric, remaining 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt, cayenne pepper, and oil. Add shrimp, and stir to coat. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil, and set seasoned shrimp aside for 10 minutes.
  • Place the bowl of shrimp in a large stockpot. Add boiling water to stockpot until water comes 1/3 of the way up the sides of bowl. Cover, and place over medium heat. Cook until shrimp just turn opaque all the way through, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring once after 6 minutes.
  • Divide the rice and shrimp among four plates, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality prawns or shrimp: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the curry.
  • Marinate the prawns or shrimp in the yogurt and spices for at least 30 minutes: This will help to tenderize the seafood and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the curry from burning.
  • Sauté the onions and garlic until they are soft and golden brown: This will add depth of flavor to the curry.
  • Add the ginger, chili peppers, and turmeric and cook for a few minutes: This will help to release their flavors.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook until they are soft: This will help to create a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Add the prawns or shrimp and cook until they are cooked through: Be careful not to overcook the seafood, or it will become tough.
  • Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer: This will help to create a creamy, flavorful sauce.
  • Season the curry to taste with salt and pepper: You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
  • Serve the curry hot with rice or naan bread: Garnish with cilantro or chopped nuts for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Madhur Jaffrey's prawn or shrimp curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. The combination of prawns or shrimp, yogurt, spices, and coconut milk creates a rich and creamy sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. This curry is also a great way to use up leftover seafood. So next time you have some prawns or shrimp on hand, give this recipe a try!
