- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 5
This is my sister-in-law Tahera's recipe & she is a phenomenal cook! It is fairly uncomplicated to make & doesn't have any exotic, hard-to-find ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 potato, peeled, quartered & sliced very thin (cover potato slices with water until ready to use, so they don't turn brown. Drain water at time of adding them to pan.) shopping list
- 1 pound medium shrimp; shelled & deveined shopping list
- 2 medium yellow onions; small dice shopping list
- 1 garlic clove; minced shopping list
- 1 or 2 fresh green chiles; minced (jalapeno or serrano chiles ) shopping list
- 1 Tablespoon white vinegar shopping list
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cayenne shopping list
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed shopping list
- 2 tomatoes; chopped coarsely shopping list
- 1/4 cup cooking oil shopping list
How to make it
- Salt cleaned shrimp well & leave sitting for 1/2 hour. After 1/2 hour, rinse shrimp well & pat dry with a paper towel. Add the oil to a wok & let it get very hot. Add mustard seed. When seeds have finished popping, add onion & fry until soft & light yellow. Add minced garlic & fry for few seconds, then add tomatoes & fry very well (turn flame down to medium & don't scorch tomatoes). Fry for about 5 minutes until you see the oil has seperated & come to top of wok. Add vinegar & fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Next add drained potatoes & fry for 3 minutes longer. Add green chiles, cayenne & 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fry for 2 minutes. Now add 1 to 1 and 1/2 cups water, stir well & simmer until sauce is slightly thickened (about 12 to 15 minutes). Add shrimp and continue cooking only until shrimp are opaque (don't overcook shrimp or they will be tough & rubbery).
- Serve with white rice or pita bread.
