• 1 large onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon ginger (grated)
• 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon salt (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 whole fresh lime (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they start to sizzle and become fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped onion and cook until golden brown, around 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 5

Mix in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion mixture.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes and cook until they soften and break down into a sauce, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, approximately 3-5 minutes. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.

Step 9

Sprinkle the garam masala over the curry and give it a final stir.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot with steamed basmati rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
