Instructions

  1. Marinate cleaned prawns with a pinch of turmeric and salt. Keep aside for 10 minutes. Same way marinate potato and cauliflower pieces with salt and turmeric powder.
  2. Heat oil in a cooking pan, add 1 tblsp. oil and fry prawns till lightly browned from both side. just fry for 2-3 minutes on each side. Do not over fry prawns, they tend to get hard. Keep aside.
  3. Heat 2 tblsp. oil in the same pan, fry marinated potato and cauliflower pieces untill brown one at a time. Keep aside. Heat 1 tblsp. oil in the same pan, temper with tempering ingredients, then add grated onions.
  4. Saute till onions are light brown, add ginger paste. Saute for another 2 minutes, then add green chillies, all spice powders and chopped tomatoes. Adding sprinkling little water on the pan, fry the spices until oil separates the spices.
  5. Add fried potato, cauliflower and prawn pieces and mix well with the spice paste. Season with little salt and a pinch of sugar. Be careful not to add much salt in the curry as we marinated all the vegetables and prawns with salt too.
  6. Note : In Bengali cuisine, it's very common to add little sugar to the curry to balance all the taste,not to sweeten the curry, just a pinch of sugar does a lot of magic.Add about 2 cups of water in the curry, cover with lid and let it boil
  7. When potato and cauliflower, both are cooked and gravy has thicken a bit, check the seasoning. Add if needed, the gravy should be not too runny, not so thick. Finally, add fresh chopped coriander leaves in the curry, remove from heat.
  8. Keep aside covered until serve. Enjoy with warm white rice. The taste is unforgettable.
