Easy Peasy Tandoori Shrimp Curry


This recipe was inspired by one given to me by my sister. Whereas she used salmon, I made this using shrimp.

Ingredients:
1 lb. (500 gms.) medium shrimp
1½ tsp. Shan Chicken Tandoori masala, or to taste
2 heaped Tbsp. Greek yogurt, or any yogurt on hand
1½ Tbsp. vegetable oil
Garlic chives or cilantro for garnish

Directions:
Marinate shrimp in Tandoori masala, yogurt and oil for 30 minutes.
Microwave 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or until shrimp are no longer pink.
Alternatively, this dish can be cooked on top of the stove by adding a little more oil to a pan and cooking the shrimp along with the marinade until shrimp are no longer pink.

Note: Lime juice can be used to replace yogurt.

Easy Tandoori Salmon Curry
by Rene Chaudhuri
This is my sister's recipe for a very easy Tandoori fish curry. She used wild Pacific salmon in this dish.

Ingredients:
1 lb. (500 gms.) cubed fillets of fish (Pacific Wild Salmon used here)
1/3 pkg. (15 gms.) Shan Tandoori mix, or to taste
2 heaped Tbsp. Yogurt
1½ Tbsp. vegetable oil
Slit green chillies for garnish

Directions:
Marinate fish in Tandoori mix, yogurt and oil for 30 minutes.
Microwave 2 minutes or until fish is firm and flaky. 

Notes: Lime juice can be used to replace yogurt.
This dish will definitely taste better with belly (peti) pieces.
