Method

  1. 1 Peel the shrimp, slit the backs to remove the vein, then toss with turmeric powder and salt for 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Sauté the chopped onions for 8 minutes until browned, then add the ginger and stir for 1 minute.
  3. 3 Add tomatoes, coriander powder, and chili powder, and sauté for 8 minutes until the masala thickens and the oil separates.
  4. 4 Drop the shrimp into the pan and stir for exactly 4 minutes; stop when the shrimp curls into a C shape.
  5. 5 Sprinkle with curry leaves and cilantro; the dish is so dry that the masala clings to the shrimp without any liquid accumulating at the bottom of the plate.
