Garlic Chilli Prawns

• totale tijd: 28 minutes

Ingrediënten

Begin by placing 680g of large prawns into a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon chilli flakes, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Mix well and set aside to marinate while other elements are prepared.

Instructies

In a karahi, warm a little oil and add 1 whole bulb of garlic, finely chopped. Cook gently until the garlic is lightly golden. Then add 3 green chillies, roughly chopped, and let them sizzle with the garlic for 3 minutes.

Now add 2 finely chopped tomatoes. Raise the heat to medium-high and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring often, until the water evaporates and a thick sauce forms.

To this, add 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon chaat masala, and ¼ teaspoon coriander powder. Cook the masala for 6 to 7 minutes, allowing the spices to deepen in flavour.

Add in the marinated prawns, lowering the heat and stirring gently to avoid breaking them. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes only, until the prawns turn just opaque — do not overcook.

Turn off the heat and fold in 2 tablespoons of cream. Return to a low flame for 2 minutes to gently warm through.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with naan.
