Green Curry

Coconut Milk and Shrimp Curry (Vatnache Kalwan)

Hi I made this curry today and it turned out lovely. You can make it with or without the shrimps

Ingredients

Coconut - 1
Green Chillies - 2
Turmeric Powder - ¼ teaspoon
Corriander - ½ bunch
Rice - 2 tablespoons
Shrimps (optional - ½ kg
Asafoetida - A pinch
Lemon Juice - 2 teaspoons
Sugar - 2-3 teaspoons
Salt - To taste
Ghee - 1 tablespoons

Procedure

Grate the coconut and keep aside 2 table spoons of grated coconut.
Extract coconut milk from the remaining grated coconut.
Add the green chillies, corriander and rice to the grated coconut and put in the mixer add a few teaspoons of water and grind to a fine paste.
Take the ghee in a vessel, add the asafoetida (hing), turmeric, salt and sugar and then the ground coconut masala paste, boil for a few minutes. Then add the shrimps and cook till the shrimps are tender. Now add the coconut milk and bring to a boil till the consistency is thick. Serve with steaming white rice. This curry can be made without the shrimps too and tastes equally yummy.
