BHUNA PRAWN WITH PURI



Bhuna Prawn With Puri image

Bhuna is the Indian equivalent of Stir frying and sauteing on medium high heat. The high heat helps meld the flavours of the spices into the vegetables or meat. Remember to keep a little water at the side whenever you try any bhuna dish to keep the dish from charring. Posting for a friend :) You can make this dish dry or add water towards the end to thin down the gravy. The recipe calls for Puri but I like it with Rotis/ Phulkas better as it is a lighter option to the deep-fried Puri .

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 25m

Yield 4 Puri with Prawn filling

Number Of Ingredients 17

300 -400 g of peeled big prawns (washed and dried well) or 300 -400 g prawns (washed and dried well)
8 tablespoons vegetable oil (I use only 1 - 2 but then I do not like oily food)
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
6 garlic cloves, minced
3 big red onions, chopped (I prefer the green onions) or 5 -6 green onions, with the green stalks chopped (I prefer the green onions)
2 fresh green chilies, deseeded and finely chopped (or less according to taste)
2 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2-1 teaspoon garam masala powder
3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon tomato puree
2 big tomatoes, chopped
coriander leaves (chopped) (optional)

Steps:

  • Use 4 Delicious Homemade Puris!
  • #44025 by Fandoos or My Rotis/Phulkas #90817 (this is if you are like me and do not much care for deep fried stuff;) Heat the 8 tablespoons of oil in a large wok.
  • Fry the onions green pepper, ginger and garlic until soft.
  • Add the prawns, Stir well.
  • Add half the salt (use the rest later to adjust the seasoning), the spices and the Worcestershire sauce.
  • Put the tomato puree and tomatoes in and pour the Balti sauce over everything.
  • Stir violently and break the tomato pieces up with the spoon.
  • Leave the heat fairly high and, still stirring, dry the mixture off for about 3-4 minutes till the prawns are cooked.
  • Garnish with cilantro (optional). Spread one of the chapatis/ puris on a flat surface.
  • When the prawn mixture is just cool enough to handle, spoon one-quarter of it on to the chapati.
  • Fold into a roll, tucking in the ends.
  • Serve on plates with a wedge of lemon, a little shredded lettuce and slices of cucumber and tomato.
  • Eat while still warm using your fingers.
  • Note: You can use this mixture as a filling in rice pancakes or even wheat flour pancakes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh and large prawns. This will ensure that they are succulent and flavorful.
  • Marinate the prawns in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes. This will help the prawns to absorb the flavors of the spices.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan or wok to cook the prawns. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the prawns from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the prawns on high heat until they are pink and opaque. Do not overcook them as this will make them tough.
  • Add the tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and green chilies to the pan and cook until they are softened.
  • Add the spices and cook for a few minutes until the oil starts to separate.
  • Add the prawns and cook for a few more minutes until they are well coated with the sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan.

Conclusion:

Prawn bhuna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The prawns are succulent and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and aromatic. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
