The Best of Times Cooking

Inspired by the story of a woman who lost all her recipes in a fire, along with her cook book colllection, I signed on to help replace some with my own favorite recipies. Once I got started, I realized this was one way to make my recipes available to my nearest and dearest if they will bookmark the blog.

Bombay Shrimp

Bombay Shrimp

1 lb medium raw shrimp
1 tsp garlic paste
1 tsp ginger paste
4 Tbsp tamarind paste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp red chile powder
salt to taste
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 green chiles -- chopped
1 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro

Peel the shrimp and keep in a vessel. Add ginger, garlic, and tamarind
pastes, turmeric powder, chile powder and salt to the shrimp. Mix well and
set aside for 10 minutes. Heat the oil in a pan, add garlic cloves and
stir until brown. Add shrimp and stir for 2 minutes, so that the shrimp
can also get brown. Add coconut milk, cilantro and green chiles. Turn the
heat off when the gravy begins to simmer. Serve with steamed rice.
