Preparation

1 Clean and devein shrimps. 2 Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the shrimp 3 After they are golden brown add turmeric and onion paste fry for till onions are cooked. 4 Add coconut and fry for a minute 5 Add coconut milk slowly and keep stirring, as it tends to burn quickly 6 Add salt and a pinch of sugar as per your taste. 7 Add curry powder and simmer on low heat for another 2-3 minutes. 8 I prefer to have thick consistency of the sauce, you can decide as per your choice if you wish to have more curry sauce add milk instead of water , as it helps keep the sauce rich and creamy.Serve it hot with plain rice.

About

I was appreciated for this whenever I made this for a party or just for my husband. Hope you guys enjoy it and let me know if you like it.
