2

2

Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by marinating them with a bit of turmeric and salt. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add onions and cook until they're soft and golden.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies (if using) to the onions, cooking for a couple of minutes until aromatic.
Introduce the chopped tomatoes and remaining spices, cooking until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture is fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk and tamarind paste, stirring well to combine. Bring the curry to a simmer.
Add the marinated shrimp to the curry. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Adjust the salt to taste, and finish off with a sprinkling of fresh coriander.
Serve hot with your choice from the serving suggestions.
Notes
Marinate shrimp in some turmeric and salt for extra flavor absorption.
Simmer the curry on low heat to avoid the coconut milk from curdling and to enhance flavors.
Adjust tamarind paste to taste for the perfect balance of tanginess.
Use fresh spices where possible for a more vibrant taste profile.
Don't overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly and can become rubbery if overdone.
