Ingredients

  • (240ml) grated coconut
    preferably fresh (if using frozen grated coconut, defrost it before use)
    1 cup
  • red chile peppers (dried)
    2 unit
  • turmeric powder
    1/2 tsp
  • pepper corns
    2 unit
  • A piece of tamarind (the size of a small marble)

    1 unit
  • shrimp cleaned and de-veined

    1 unit

Method

1
Put the shrimp, onion, drumsticks and asafoetida in a sauce pan. Add a little water and cook until the shrimp and drumsticks are done. If using white fish instead of shrimp, then omit the shrimp at this stage
2
Grind the grated coconut, chillies, turmeric, pepper and tamarind to a fine paste. If needed, add a tiny amount of water to form a thick fine paste. Avoid watering down the paste as far as possible.
3
Add to the shrimp mix and bring to a boil. If using white fish, add at this point.
4
Add salt to taste.
5
Serve with hot white rice
