Shrimp Masala

Had some shrimp in the freezer, and really wanted to try something with it and ended up with shrimp masala for lunch.

Ingredients:
Shrimp - 25-30 medium sized
Onion - 1 medium
Tomato - 1 small, cubed
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Chilli powder - 1 tsp
Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - one spring
Coriander leaves - For garnish

Method:
Saute onions until brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for another minute. Add tomatoes at this point and saute again until tomatoes are cooked. Once this mixture is ready, let it cool and then blend it without adding water(or minimal water).
In the meantime, stir fry the prawns adding the powders in a tbsp of oil. You may even add a slit green chilly if you feel like it. Once the raw smell is gone, add the blended mixture and let it cook. Once the prawns are cooked, add the curry leaves and let it simmer for a minute. Garnish with coriander leaves.
