Instructions
- Clean, Peel and de-vein the prawns. Add in the salt and turmeric and mix well. Set it on a strainer for the excess water in the prawns to drain. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat quarter cup of oil in a pan and add in the prawns and the red chilli powder. Fry on low flame for 5 minutes until cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add the remaining quarter cup of oil in the pan and add in the crushed ginger and garlic mixture. Saute for two minutes.
- Add in the chopped green chillies and continue to saute until the garlic and the ginger are nicely roasted. About 5 minutes on medium flame.
- Add in the masala powders and the salt and fry for a minute.
- Add in the prawns, vinegar and quarter cup of water. Do not add all of the vinegar at once. First add the ¼ cup of vinegar and taste it. Add more if you think you might need more. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, the mixture would become slightly dry and the oil would start to float on top completely. Switch off the flame and allow it to cool for an hour.
- Transfer the mixture to a ceramic or a glass jar. You can store it refrigerated for upto a month.
