King prawn kashmiri
My local takeaway does an amazing king prawn kashmiri made with fresh lycees. Does anyone have a recipe to make the same /similar dish as it's costing me a fortune to have takeaways constantly!?

Try this tonight:
500 gram(s) king prawns, shelled and de-veined
1 pot full fat yoghurt lightly whisked
2 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp coriander powder
4 green chillies - deseeded and slit
2 cloves
1 tsp garam masala
small bunch chopped fresh coriander
3 tblsp ghee(clarified butter) or use a good veg. oil
1 cup water
Fresh or tinned lychees.
salt to taste and a pinch of asafoetida and turmeric powders
Rub the prawns with some salt and turmeric powder. Keep aside for 5 minutes. In a bowl, whisk the yoghurt with a little salt. Heat half the ghee / oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and gently stir-fry the prawns until golden in colour. Drain on absorbent paper and keep on one side.
Heat the remaining ghee / oil in the same pan and drop in the cumin seeds. As they 'spit', put in the asafoetida, cloves, and grated ginger. Fry briefly, reduce the heat and stir in the yoghurt. Cook whilst stirring on low heat till the yoghurt gets to an even reddish-brown colour. Add the coriander powder and mix well, and add water. Stir gently and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 15 / 20 minutes and the gravy has thickened.
Add the garam masala, slit green chillies and the chopped fresh coriander. Mix very gently, cover with lid and cook on low heat for about 5 mins, then add the prawns to heat through, add the lychees - or you could use pineapple instead - and cook a further 5 mins.
Serve up with plian boiled rice and roti. Kashmiri curries have a goos spicey blend in them and are really easy to make up - you can get sauces in jars but these will never be as nice and flavoursome as making your own freesh gravy / sauce. Try the above with firm white fish or use chicken bits instead. Also works well with potatos or squash for a veggie option.
Yum............
