CALDINE curry is a popular Goan non-spicy ( mild) yellow curry made with fish, prawns and a vegetable like cauliflower, lady’s finger, bottle gourd.

I have served this Prawn Caldine with Spinach Bhaji, Koshimbir and steamed rice.

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ coconut, scraped( 1cup)
• ½-1 tbsp coriander seeds
• ¼ tbsp jeera seeds
• 10-12 black pepper
• 2 large garlic
• ½ inch ginger
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 1tsp tamarind paste
• ½ tsp rice
• 1onion chopped fine
• ½ tomato, deseeded and chopped
• 2-3 green chillies
• Ginger sliced
• Vinegar
• Small piece of Cinnamon
• 2-3 cloves
• Salt to taste
• 100 -150 gms prawn
• 2-3 slices of bottle gourd

INSTRUCTIONS:

Grind together coconut, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, black pepper, garlic, ginger, turmeric, green chilly, rice and tamarind to a very fine paste

Strain to get smooth coconut milk. You can strain the mixture twice to get thick coconut milk and thin coconut milk

• Keep the CALDINE masala aside
• Discard the sieved coconut remainders
• Heat oil in a pan
• Add onions and fry until slightly golden

• Add green chillies and tomato

• Fry for few mins until tomatoes are softened
• Add the bottle gourd and fry for 1-2 mins. Add salt and a little turmeric

• Add thin coconut milk and cover and cook for few mins

That’s it, your easy mild Prawn CALDINE is ready

Enjoy over steamed rice
