I hardly have any non-veg recipes in my blog .. probably this is the first one. I must say that I am not a vegetarian, I do cook and consume fish once in a while but avoid cooking and eating meat varieties.. I just don't enjoy that part.
Came across a Thai cookery book and tried a recipe from that using prawns. We love the thai flavours so just got to try this recipe :)
The original recipe is stir fried prawns with tamarind... but mine looks more like a curry a not a stir fry. nevertheless the dish was finger licking good :)
Ingredients
Dried red chillies - 6
Veg oil - 2 tbspn
Chopped onion - 2 tbspn
Palm sugar=- 2 tbspn
Water/stok - 2 tbspn
Thai fish sauce- 1 tbspn
Tamarind juice - 6 tbspn
Prawns - 5 oo gms
Fried chopped garlic- 1 tbspn
Fried slice shallots - 2 tbspn
Method
Heat the wok and dry roast the chillies without burning them and set them aside. Crush it when it cools slightly.
Add the oil to the wok and heat. Add the chopped onion and cook over med heat, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes until softened and golden brown.
Add sugar, stock/water, fish sauce, crushed dry roasted chillies and the tamarind juice and stir occasionally for 2-3 minutes. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat slightly.
Add the prawns, garlic and shallots. Toss over the heat for 3-4 minutes, until the prawns are cooked, Garnish with the spring onions and serve.
I bet its very tasty!
cook and enjoy ..
thanks!
