Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh seafood mix (prawns, squid, mussels, and fish chunks)
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 inch Ginger, minced
• 2 Green chilies, slit lengthwise
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoons Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil or coconut oil
• 1 teaspoons Tamarind paste
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 200 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

Clean and prepare the seafood mix by rinsing thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large, deep pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, green chilies, and curry leaves. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant.

Step 5

Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder, and garam masala. Stir to coat the onions and spices evenly, cooking for 1-2 minutes to release the flavors.

Step 6

Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the tamarind paste and salt, stirring to dissolve. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Add the seafood mix to the curry base, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Cover the pan and let the seafood cook for 7-10 minutes, or until it is tender and fully cooked. Avoid overcooking to prevent the seafood from becoming rubbery.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve the curry hot with steamed rice or fresh flatbread.
