👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened and lightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
2
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the baharat spice blend, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and chili powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant.
4
Add the diced tomatoes (or tomato puree) and tamarind paste to the pan. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5
Add the shrimp to the sauce. Season with salt to taste. Stir gently to coat the shrimp evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
6
If the sauce is too thick, add a little water (about 1/4 cup at a time) until it reaches your desired consistency.
7
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

💡 전문가 팁

✓For a spicier dish, add more chili powder or a finely chopped green chili along with the garlic and ginger.
✓Ensure the shrimp are not overcooked, as they can become tough.
✓Tamarind paste can be substituted with a squeeze of lime juice at the end of cooking for a similar tang.
