Ingredients
- 1 kg (2lb) seafood I used shrimp, calamari and half-shell mussels.
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp oil
For the curry
- 2 tbsp butter/oil/ghee
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 6 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tbsp minced ginger
- 1½ tbsp garam masala
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 cup chicken broth/stock
- 2 cups coconut milk / heavy cream
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat thawed seafood dry with paper towels and season with salt.
- Heat a large skillet or deep pan over high heat. Add a few tablespoons of oil then sear the seafood in batches for a minute or two. You don't need to cook the seafood completely at this step.
- Remove the seafood from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, make the curry sauce.
- Melt a knob of butter or heat a splash of oil in the pan over medium-high heat then add the onion and cook for a minute or two until it starts to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant then stir in all of the spices.
- Cook the spices until the pan starts to look dry (approximately 30 seconds) then pour in the broth, coconut milk and/or cream and add a pinch of sugar.
- Bring to a simmer then cook the sauce for a few minutes until it has thickened slightly.
- Add the seafood to the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes until cooked through.
- Season with lemon juice, salt and black pepper and serve.
