wash the shrimp and remove the shell.

about 5 curry leaves. Add the chopped onion, ginger garlic paste and green
chillies to it. Fry until golden, which takes about 6 minutes over medium

chili powder, coriander powder and salt. Cover and cook for 4 minutes. Let
all the tomatoes turn mushy and the mixture turn like a thick lump.
- Keep sauteing for another 3 to 4 minutes, the mixture
will turn slightly dry and chunky. Absolutely no water!!

for the next 4-5 minutes, add remaining curry leaves, throw in some
coriander leaves too. Keep frying until the masala turns brown and dry.
