CEYLON PRAWN CURRY WITH COCONUT SAMBAL & POL ROTIS | SRI LANKAN FOOD BY MASTERCHEF OINDRILA

I had these delicious Prawn Curry on my last day of the Sri Lanka trip and I absolutelyyyy fell in love with it.
Served with Pol roti, coconut sambhal and a beautiful onion chutney, SRI LANKAN CEYLON PRAWN CURRY was a true flavor explosion.
The mix of spices, the aroma, the subtle sweetness of coconut and the use of moringa..all come together to create this mouthwatering dish.
When I made it at home, my family became a fan of it-they just couldn't get enough!
So today, I'm sharing the same recipe
with you all.
🥘Sri Lankan Curry Powder
2 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp black pepper
1 stick cinnamon
4-5 cardamoms
10 cloves
2-3 dried red chillies
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tbsp rice
1/4 tsp turmeric
Dry roast the spices on low heat till fragrant. Cool down and grind to a fine powder.
🥘Curry recipe:-
500 gms prawns
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
Marinade the prawns in turmeric and salt for 10 minutes.
2 tbsp refined oil
1 tsp of mustard
20 curry leaves
10-12 cloves of garlic sliced
2 stalks of lemon grass
1 inch ginger chopped
4-5 fresh chillies
1 large tomato chopped
Curry powder - 2 tbsp
Turmeric 1/2 tsp
Black pepper powder - 1 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Tamarind paste - 2 tbsp
Moringa leaves - 7-8 stalks
Salt to taste
Coconut milk 2 cups
Heat the oil, and saute the aromats till the onion is transluscent. Add in the chillies and tomsto and cook till the tomatoes have softened.
Add i the prawns and saute for 5 minutes. Add in the coconut milk, curry powder and other spices and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Add in the moringa leaves and cook for 5 minutes.
Serve hot with coconut sambal and pol roti.
🫓Pol rotis
POL ROTI is a coconut flatbread that goes great with all sorts of dishes such as dals curries or with a chutney.
Think of it like a yummy coconut paratha. I enjoyed mine with Sri Lankan prawn curry, coconut sambal, and different kinds of chutneys. You can try it with whatever you like!
Here's how to make it:
1 cup dessicated coconut
1/2 cup coconut milk
Salt to taste
1 medium chopped onion
2-3 chopped green chillies
1 tsp sugar
2 cups flour
Water to knead a dough
Make a dough of everything. Dough should not be sticky.
Take a ball of dough and flatten with your hands to make 3 inch circle. I like my pol rotis thin so i flattened it as thin as possible. It can be made about 1/2 inch thick too. Depending upon how you would like it.
Now cook on tawa without oil for 3-4 minutes each side, till its slightly golden on both and centre is cooked through. Please make sure to increase cooking time if you made thicker pol rotis.
🌴🥥Have you heard of Sri Lankan Coconut Sambol
It's this amazing chutney-like dish that's super flavorful and just the right amount of spicy.
The best part?
You only need a few ingredients to whip it up, and you can eat it with literally anything - dosa, roti, parathas, rice... You name it!
Once you've tasted it, you'll want to make it all the time at home. It's just that delicious!
Here's the easy peasy recipe:
1 cup fresh grated coconut
1 medium onion finely chopped
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp red chilli flakes
1 red chilli fresh
Salt to taste
Lemon juice 2 tsp
