This recipe is very close to my heart as it is one of my “grandma’s recipes”. The ingredients are very simple and are easily available. This is probably the easiest way to prepare the recipe. Also the texture and taste stands out among all other recipes.

Steps

1

First of all marinate the Prawns with turmeric powder and salt. Then keep it aside for 7-10 minutes.
2

Now it’s time to prepare the “Malaikari” which means the curry or gravy. The consistency depends on you. First of all add some mustard oil in a pan or wok. Heat the oil on a medium flame and fry the marinated prawns. Do not over fry them as the prawns tend to be hard if over fried.
3

Once the prawns are fried then remove the prawns from the oil and keep it aside on a separate bowl. Then in the remaining oil add chopped onions and sauté it till it becomes translucent. Then add the ginger paste and garlic paste one by one and cook them until the raw smell goes away.
4

After that add all the dry spices one after the other and add 1 tsp of coconut milk and now mix the spices well on a medium flame. Then add the chopped tomatoes. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Uncover and you will find the tomatoes have become mushy. Once the oil starts separating add the coconut milk and keep stirring. As I said before, the consistency will vary according to one’s taste.
5

After adding the coconut milk don’t forget to add the salt and sugar to balance the taste. As soon as the gravy starts simmering add the fried prawns and cover and cook for another 2 minutes on a low flame.
6

Last but not the least uncover the lid and add clarified butter into the prawn Malaikari. Now this authentic Bengali cuisine “Chingri Mach er Malaikari” is ready to be served with steaming rice.
