Chemmeen Mulaku Curry




Chemmeen Mulaku Curry

Spicy prawns curry with rice is something you would love to indulge on. This recipe is the same as the fish muluku curry and here I have not used coconut. But you still have its flavor with the coconut oil. I have used kudam puli or Malabar tamarind, so this curry is a bit spicy and tangy.You can also make prawns curry with coconut milk or with grated coconut.

Ingredients
Prawns - 18-20 medium 
Shallots sliced- 3/4 cup
Ginger- thinly sliced- 2 tbs
Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp
Chilly powder- 1 1/3 tsp
Kudam puli- 3-4 pieces
Green chilly-1
Curry leaves a few
Fenugreek seeds- 1/3 tsp
Mustard seeds- 1/3 tsp
Coconut oil- 3 tsp




Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and fenugreek seeds. When they splutter add thinly sliced shallots, ginger, curry leaves and green chilly and fry till it is golden brown. Add turmeric and chilly powder and soaked kudam puli and saute till oil separates. Add 3/4 cup of water and cook till the sauce thickens. Add cleaned and de veined prawns, cover and cook for three to four minutes in medium flame. Finally add fresh curry leaves and a  few drops of coconut oil. Serve with rice.

Murgh Chukandar/Beetroot Chicken

Murgh Chukandar/Beetroot Chicken Murgh Chukandar is a tasty chicken curry with wonderful natural bright red color. This color is from beetroot as the name suggests- chukandar means beets in Hindi and Urdu. You can also make with gosht/mutton. I am not sure about the origin of this recipe but it is popular in Northern India and Punjab and it is made during cold winter months. I love recipes with beetroot,but never thought of adding to meat. Beetroot has an earthiness and sweetness to it which complements with the flavor of earthy spices and kick from the chilies.The bonus is its beautiful vibrant color. This chicken curry has the right balance of sweet,sour,heat and flavor and was beyond what I expected. This humble chicken curry when paired with rice and naan gives you the satisfaction of homey comfort food. Beetroot is a super food and is a great source of iron and folate. It is said to purify blood and reduce blood pressure. It also contains nitrates,magnesium and oth...
