To begin with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook gondhoraj chingri | lemon prawns using 14 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.

The ingredients needed to make Gondhoraj Chingri | Lemon Prawns:

1. Make ready 400 g chingri or tiger prawn

4. Get 100 ml fresh coconut paste

8. Get 6 pcs lemon sliced
9. Take 1 tsp turmeric powder
10. Prepare 1 tsp red chilli powder
11. Take 1 tsp cumin powder
12. Get 75 ml white oil
13. Make ready as needed whole garam masala
14. Get as needed (cinnamon, green cardamom, cloves, black pepper)

Add prawns, lemon slices, garlic, and crushed chilli flakes, and season with salt. Shell and devein the prawns, retaining the tails. Rinse and wipe dry with kitchen towels. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium high heat.

Steps to make Gondhoraj Chingri | Lemon Prawns:

1. At first, clean the prawns. You can remove the shells and head for easy eating, especially for kids. However, I have removed the abdominal area (1-No.) for better presentation purposes. Remove long black vein that runs through the entire prawn. To do so, cut front part of the head and take out a hard structure with a pin or toothpick. Once the prawn is clean let’s move on to the next step.
2. Marinate the prawns with salt, turmeric, red chilli powder, lemon juice; gently mix all the ingredients and leave it for 15min.
3. Switch on stove, put a container, pour white oil and heat the oil. I recommend white oil instead of mustard oil so that lemon flavor is intact when you eat the dish. Mustard oil may dominant over the lemon flavor. Shallow fry the prawns and keep it aside. Remember, not to deep fry. Otherwise, the prawns will be hard.
4. Add some more oil in the same pot, if required. Put the whole garam masala, including cinnamon, green cardamom, cloves and black peer. Sauté the whole garam masala until nice smell comes out. Add chopped onions and sauté for few minutes until soften. Further add salt, it will help to soften the onions faster. Add ginger, garlic and chilli paste, cook for a while until the raw smell went off. Cover it for a while (around 2-3min).
5. Once you open the lid, you can see oil is surfaced. Add turmeric, red chilli powder and cumin powder and cook it further when you can see more oil is surfaced. Add fresh coconut paste, stir and cook for a while. Again, cover it with a lid for 5min.
6. You can see oil surfaced, once you open the lid. It means that the masala is well cooked. Add 150ml water, to make a gravy. Once the gravy start boiling, add shallow fried prawns. Stir gently, and cover with a lid for 5min.
7. Prawn cooked very fast so no need to cook for longer time. Open the lid and add lemon zest, lemon juice and sliced lemons. Gently stir and cover a lid for 5min. At this moment, switch off the gas flame. Garnish with sliced lemons.
8. The dish is ready to serve. You can eat this dish with white rice or basanti pulao. Enjoy the dish!

Rinse and wipe dry with kitchen towels. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium high heat. Creamy lemon garlic shrimp pasta is so easy but such a showstopper recipe. The sauce and pasta cooks at the same time for minimum effort. Add shrimp, lemon slices, garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes, and season with salt.
