Prawn Vindaloo | Goan Shrimp Vindaloo | Sunday Special Recipes | Prawn Recipes

Prawn Vindaloo is a Goan dish and it has gone into my favorite list immediately when I tasted it. This is the first time i am trying out this recipe and came out so so good. All my family members loved this recipe so much. I am not sure, whether the traditional recipe has sugar in it, but I added it in order to reduce the spiciness. I got the recipe from here, but modified slightly according to our taste.

Goan Shrimp Curry

Here is another Goan recipe which is learnt from my friend. Since we add coconut milk or grated coconut, this will have a mild spiciness only. So it suits for people who could not eat spicy food.

Ingredients I (cleaning)

• Prawns - 1/2 kg 
• Salt - 1 tsp
• Water

Ingredients II (For marination)

• Prawns - 1/2 kg
• Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
• Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
• Salt - 2 pinch

Ingredients III (To grind)

• Prawns - 6 to 8 (with or without marination)
• Grated Coconut - 1/2 cup
• Red chillies(Dry) - 2 to 3
• Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
• Water - 1/4 cup

Ingredients IV

• Oil - 3 tsp
• Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
• Onion - 1 (big - finely chopped)
• Tomato - 1 (big - finely chopped)
• Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
• Salt - as per taste
• Curry leaves - few
• Coriander leaves - for garnishing

Method

• Wash and remove the black thread of the prawns.
• Clean with salt. 
• Marinate the prawns with the Ingredients II (for marination) for 20 to 30 min.
• Grind the Ingredients III (To grind) and make a paste and keep aside.
• In a vessel, add oil and when hot, add the cumin seeds.
• Add the onions and curry leaves.
• When onions become soft, add the tomato, coriander powder and salt.
• Now add in the marinated prawns.
• No need to add water, as the shrimp/prawn itself leaves out water. 
• When the shrimps starts curling, add in the grinded paste. 
• At this stage, if you feel, the curry is thick, can add little water.
• Allow to cook for 10 min.
• When the prawns are cooked, garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or chappathi or roti. 

Note:

• Instead of grated coconut, coconut milk can be added.
• Instead of Red chillies, green chillies can be added.

Egg Balchao/Egg Cake - Goan Recipe

First of all many thanks to my friend Shilpa, for introducing me to this recipe. This recipe Egg Balchao or Egg Cake, is a Goan Recipe (and ofcourse she is from Goa, she told me 2 versions. First version of the recipe I give here). I do not have that much liking to the eggs, thats why in cakes or any other baking dishes too, i prefer, eggless mostly. But after having tasted this recipe, I have become fan to this and used to prepare whenever I get a chance and each time everyone in my family likes it....

Here we go for the recipe....

Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 or 5
• Onion - 1 big (chop finely)
• Tomato - 1 big (cut into fine pieces)
• Green Chillies - 2 (cut finely)
• Ginger - garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
• Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
• Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 2 pinch
• Garam Masala - 1/2 tsp
• White pepper - 1/4 tsp
• Chat Masala - as per the wish (I used 4 to 5 pinch)
• Salt - as per taste
• Curry leaves - few
• Coriander leaves - few
• Oil - 1 tsp

Method

• In a flat bottomed pan (better if non stick), add 1 tsp oil.
• When oil is hot, add the onion and saute till it becomes translucent.
• Add the tomato, ginger - garlic paste and green chillies, curry leaves and saute well till, the tomato becomes soft.
• Now add the chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder and salt.

• Smash the tomatoes and let it cook for 2 to 3 min.
• Add the garam masala and mix well.
• Take care that it is not sticking to the bottom.
• It should not be too thick or too watery. If the tomato paste becomes thick, sprikle little water and mix well.
• By this time, the oil starts to come out.
• Now break and add the eggs into the mixture one by one slowly.
• Now sprinkle, the pepper powder, chilli powder, chat masala, little salt and coriander leaves.

• Cover with a lid and wait for 3 to 5 min.
• Now open the lid and try to shake the pan a bit, and if the egg not shaking, then Egg Balchao is done.
• If it is little bit shaking also, cover the lid again and cook for another 2 min.
• The harder part of the upper egg part and the juicy bottom part of the Egg cake would taste fabulous.
• Taste great when Egg Balchao is hot.

Note:
You can use crushed black pepper also, as per your taste
