Re: Shrimp Masala spicy dish !

isn't 8-10 mins is a bit too much for shrimps, they might get rubbery...

No since they're added last.. they just simmer in the gravy.

Thank you so much Gina~.
Now here's the problem (my bad I should ev mentioned it)
I just bought 2 bags frozen (2 lbs) each - pre-cooked, you know what I mean,,,
And I can't stand coconut or its byprods,,.

I'm dying to make this desi style dish with my own hands and then enjoy it too,,slurrrrP :)

Re: Shrimp Masala spicy dish !

Make masala with onion ginger garlic pase, tomato paste, salt, red pepper, haldi, and corriander powder. Add little water to your masla and make it little then. Then add your defrosted shrimps. Cook for 7-10 mins. Garnish with cilantro, enjoy with rice or roti.

Thankyou ! I now have the general idea about not cooking shrimp or fish for too long otherwise they become rubbery and hard hence my threads. :(:k:
