Chingri Malai Curry

Chingri malai curry, also called chingri malaikari, is a Bengali dish made with large tiger prawns or giant freshwater prawns in a coconut-milk sauce. The prawns are seasoned and fried briefly before being added to the curry.^[1]

The sauce can be made by cooking onion and ginger pastes with turmeric, chilli and whole spices such as cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. Yogurt and coconut milk form the sauce, and garam masala is added at the end. The prawns finish cooking in this sauce. The dish can accompany mishti polao.^[1]
