Chingri Malaikari

Here's the Chingri Machher Malaikari recipe that I use (the measurements are approximate - but you and Shayak can cook and so will adjust to your taste):

15 large cleaned and deveined prawns
1 medium onion
4 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 inch piece ginger
2 green chilies split open lengthwise
1 big stick cinnamon
3 cloves
2 whole green cardamom split open
1/2 can coconut milk
1 tsp turmeric
3/4 tsp sugar
salt to taste
2 tbs mustard oil

Grind onion, garlic and ginger together. Heat oil in skillet. Add cinnamon, cloves and cardamom and let the cloves pop. Add the ground paste and stir until fried enough to let the oil seep through. Add prawns and turmeric and stir for a few minutes until just cooked (prawns cook very quickly). Add coconut milk, salt and sugar and throw the chilies in at this stage so that they will only flavor the dish. Let it all simmer just a minute or two, and your malaikari is ready. You can add some chopped cilantro on top as garnish if you want.
