This recipe of masala prawns are spicy, with all the flavors infused in the prawns and are great when combined with bell peppers.  Prawns/ shrimps they cook really fast. You wouldn't want to overcook them. It’s a quick and hassle free dish. Prawns are a good source of cholesterol, from 120 mg to 250 mg per 100 g of shrimp. So if you have high cholesterol, you better watch out the amount of your serving. They are also high in calcium, iodine and omega 3s. Bell pepper is rich in antioxidants. The combination is really mouth watering and delicious.

Ingredients

700g prawns washed and shell removed

3 tbsp oil

1 large onion finely chopped

1 cup capsicum cut into cubes

1 medium tomato chopped

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp garlic

1 tsp ginger

1 tsp red chilli powder (adjust accordingly)

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp salt

Water

Directions

In a pan, saute onions in oil on medium heat till they turn transparent. Add ginger, garlic, tomatoes, cumin seeds, turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder and salt. Toss in prawns and capsicum and cover the pan on low flame for 10 mins or more till the prawns are cooked.  If you feel the gravy is drying out, add half cup of water.

Serve hot with roti/ rice. Enjoy!
