做法
- 用1小勺姜黄和盐腌虾,静置10分钟。
- 在厚底锅中把芥子油烧至刚冒烟。每面轻煎虾30秒后捞出——它们将在汤汁中收尾。
- 调中火,在同一锅油里加豆蔻、桂皮、丁香和月桂叶,煸香30秒。
- 加入洋葱泥,炒6分钟至金黄。加入姜末和蒜末,翻炒60秒。
- 加入克什米尔辣椒粉、香菜籽粉和孜然粉,翻炒60秒。加100毫升水,煮4分钟——这是bhuna阶段,香料融合。
- 缓缓倒入椰浆,边倒边搅以防分层。加入划开的青辣椒、糖和盐。慢炖4分钟——汤汁应略浓稠。把虾滑回锅里,再煮4分钟——切勿过头,虾会变橡皮。拌入印度酥油增亮。撒香菜点缀,配蒸米饭享用。
Common questions

This recipe is written for 4 servings. To scale, multiply each ingredient proportionally; the cooking times stay the same up to about double the volume. Beyond that, expect to cook in batches because of pan size and heat distribution.
文化背景
椰浆虾咖喱是孟加拉婚宴的标志——孟加拉国和西孟加拉都把它视为婚礼宴会的代表,虽两地的做法基本相同。'malai'指椰子奶油,而非印度浓稠的malai(奶油);孟加拉语的malai意为椰浆顶层那厚厚的脂肪。这道菜温润、微甜、香气深厚,是宴客的恰到好处——日常吃太隆重,庆典用恰好。带头带壳的整只大虾是关键;虾头在炖煮时会渗出虾膏融入汤汁。
