Love To Bake Creamy Prawn Curry @ Chingri Malaikari @ - Aff Indian Subcontinent #10



I dear love dear this prawn dish! And I'm going to repeat this dish quite oftentimes inwards the future. It's rattling nice.

After I cooked this dish, I realized why this is a dish that Bongs volition serve whenever they pick out guests. It's because it is slow together with delicious!


Frying the prawns earlier adding to the gravy is a lovely footstep to add together flavour. Just similar Cantonese means of cooking prawns, nosotros similar to give the prawns a high oestrus searing or a quick deep tiddler to heighten the flavour. And don't piece of job out out the shells. That's where the season is. If you lot sear it amongst or without the shells, the fragrance volition hold upward manifestly different. And to come across this technique applied to this prawn curry is actually an optic opener.

In Bangladeshi restaurants, it's normally cooked amongst large prawns or lobsters, rhythm out on. But since I pick out some medium prawns, I merely used that. Some recipes didn't postulate heed using smaller prawns together with some fifty-fifty usage the prawn flesh only, without whatever shells at all.


I cooked this dish amongst reference to 2 recipes, taking some purpose from this together with some purpose from that. I prefer cumin over coriander together with I prefer ruddy chilli pulverization over fresh dark-green chilli. The residual pretty much remains for both recipes.

Mustard crude is an of import element when it comes to cooking seafood inwards Bangladesh, together with I substituted it amongst crude flavoured amongst mustard seeds. I know it could hold upward different, but that's the best that I tin flaming do.

I'm actually glad I tried out this dish.
