Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 can (400 ml) coconut milk

2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

1-inch piece ginger, grated

2-3 green chilies, slit (adjust for spice level)

2 teaspoons curry powder

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 tablespoon tamarind paste (or juice of 1 lime)

Salt, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Cooked basmati rice or naan, for serving

Instructions
 

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Add the chopped onions to the skillet and cook until they become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

      Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes aromatic.

        Sprinkle in the curry powder and turmeric. Combine well and cook for an additional minute.

          Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.

            Add the shrimp to the skillet, along with tamarind paste (or lime juice) and salt to taste. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

              Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Once cooked, remove from heat.

                Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

                  Serve hot with cooked basmati rice or naan to soak up the flavorful curry.
