Shrimp Hooman (Goan Shrimp Curry) — a recipe imported from the Wikibooks Cookbook.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) grated coconut, preferably fresh
  • 2 dried red chile peppers
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 peppercorns
  • 1 piece of tamarind (the size of a small marble)
  • ½ onion, chopped fine
  • 1 drumstick (frozen works fine), cut into 8–10 pieces
  • 10–15 shrimp, cleaned and de-veined
  • 1 pinch asafoetida

Instructions

  1. 1
    Put the shrimp, onion, drumsticks, and asafoetida in a saucepan. Add a little water and cook until the shrimp and drumsticks are done. If using white fish instead of shrimp, then omit the shrimp at this stage.
  2. 2
    Grind the grated coconut, chile peppers, turmeric, pepper and tamarind to a fine paste. If needed, add a tiny amount of water to form a thick fine paste. Avoid watering down the paste as far as possible.
  3. 3
    Add to the shrimp mix and bring to a boil. If using white fish, add at this point.
  4. 4
    Add salt to taste.
  5. 5
    Serve with hot white rice.
