Ingredients (Serves 4)
Shrimp – 1 pound, deveined
Red onion – 1 medium, finely chopped
Garlic – 3 cloves, minced
Tomato – 2 medium, finely chopped

Method
1. Blend the spice paste ingredients in a mixer / small food processor. Set aside.
2. Salt the shrimp lightly and set aside for at least 15 – 20 minutes.
3. Heat oil in a pan. Fry the dry red chillies until brown. Add onions, little salt and saute over medium-high heat until brown. Add the chopped garlic, sugar and fry for a minute.

Oru doubt… Is this a bit on the sweet side ?? Planning to try this out this week ๐ So was just thinking if this would go with Fried rice. Also you ve mentioned about frying the red chillies; its not listed in the ingredients.
Thank You All ๐
Nitha,
Sorry I forgot to mention the dried chillies. I have updated the recipe now. Thanks for pointing it out. Regarding your question, this dish is tangy and mildly sweet..I am sure it will be perfect with fried rice. Do let me know if you try it out :).
