this is the simplest masala my mil makes,this is her recipe:)...
ingredients needed:
onion -1 big
juicy ripe tomatoes-3 if it is medim in size 4 if it is small...
garlic 6 to 7 pods
ginger an inch
green chillies -3
jeera a little
chiili powder(i use homemade chilli powder which is a mix of both chilli and coriander powder)...
turmeric powder a pinch..
shrimp as needed for the gravy
method of preparation:
1) make a paste of ginger,garlic,greenchillies and jeera
2)pour oil in a kadai,add this paste, fry this for a while and then add onions,turmeric powder and salt..fry it well
3)now add tomatoes ,fry for a while then add chilli powder(u can substitute this with little chilli powder and little coriander powder seperatly )...keep the flame to medium and fry till the oil stands on the top..
4)now add shrimp and little water and cook till the shrimp is done and u get a consistency of a gravy
5)garnish with chopped coriander and chopped curry leaves...i always feel that adding curry leaves for garnishing adds extra aroma to the gravy
(i sometimes add sakthi chicken masala powder too to the gravy)...
for this masala,amount of onions and tomatoes should be the same.. u can add little more tomatoes too for extra tanginess:))..but don't reduce the amount of tomatoes...
