Goan Fried tiger prawns with recheado masala

Rechardo masala ingredients:

8-9 Kashmiri chilies

8 Garlic cloves

1 inch ginger

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 long cinnamon stick

10 black peppercorns

9-10 cloves

1 Cardamom pods

½ tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp sugar

**Grind the above ingredients with only vinegar, to a smooth paste.

Method:

1. Clean the prawns and apply salt, keep it to rest for sometime.
2. Apply rechardo masala, let it marinate for about 1-2 hours.
3. Pan fry them on medium to low heat till the prawns are cooked.

I prefer “shell on” as it retains all the juices inside ….

Enjoy…
