Ingredients
For the Spice Paste
- 2 tbsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/2 tbsp Coriander Seeds
- 4 clove Garlic peeled
- 3 Chilies adjust to your spice preference, red
- 1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
For the Stir-fry
- 500 gm Prawns deshelled and deveined
- 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
Prepare the Spice Paste
- Dry roast cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and garlic in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Grind the roasted mixture with apple cider vinegar and red chilies into a smooth paste using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.
Cook the Prawns
- Heat olive oil in a pan or wok over medium heat. Add the spice paste and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in turmeric powder and salt. Continue cooking until the oil separates from the paste and the mixture turns a vibrant orange, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the prawns and toss gently to coat them evenly with the masala. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the prawns are pink and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with a side salad or rice (optional, for non-paleo).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a deeper flavor, toast the spices for a longer time, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Adjust the amount of red chilies to control the spice level according to your preference. Start with fewer and add more if needed.
- If using frozen prawns, ensure they are fully thawed before cooking to prevent uneven cooking.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice at the end.
