Ingredients

• 500 grams Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 100 grams Plain yogurt
• 1 large Onion
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 inch Ginger
• 1 large Tomato
• 10 Cashews
• 200 ml Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Ghee or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 100 ml Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, soak the cashews in warm water for 10 minutes. Once softened, blend them with the yogurt to form a smooth paste. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger. Roughly chop the tomato and set them aside separately.

Step 3

Heat ghee or vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 4

Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomato and cook until it softens and breaks down, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Lower the heat and stir in the cashew-yogurt paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to prevent the yogurt from curdling.

Step 8

Add the coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar. Mix well and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they turn pink and are fully cooked through.

Step 10

Sprinkle the garam masala over the dish and stir gently. Simmer for an additional minute.

Step 11

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
