Prawn ghee roast is a popular seafood dish from the coastal region of Karnataka, India. It is made by marinating prawns in a spicy mixture of red chilies, tamarind, garlic, and other ingredients, and then pan-frying them in ghee (clarified butter) until they are nicely charred and aromatic.

Here is a simple recipe for prawn ghee roast:

Ingredients:

500g prawns, cleaned and deveined

3 tbsp ghee

1 sprig curry leaves

Salt, to taste

For the masala:

8-10 dry red chilies

1 tbsp coriander seeds

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp fenugreek seeds

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Method:

Soak the tamarind in a little water for 15 minutes and extract the juice.

In a pan, dry roast the red chilies, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fenugreek seeds until fragrant. Grind them along with garlic, turmeric powder, and tamarind juice to a smooth paste.
