Andhra spicy Royyala Iguru/ Prawn curry


Andhra Royyala Iguru

Royyalu/Prawns my second favorite non-veg dish after fish pulusu. Royyala iguru is very easy dish to prepare, it hardly takes 15 mins to cook this all time favorite curry. I generally love prawns cooked with some veggies like beerakaya/ridgegourd, vanakaya/brinjal, Mango(the best),gongura,chukkakura. My mom even cooks prawns with cabbage,borabati(long beans),egg sounds weird but tastes just amazing. Miss those curries and miss my mom :(

Ingredients:

1kg prawns peeled and d veined and marinated with 1 tsp salt,1tsp chili powder and lemon juice for 30 mins
2 large onions finely chopped
4-5 green chilies ( i make it really spicy adjust according to your spice level)
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tsp jeera/cumin seeds
1 1/2 tsp red chili powder
salt to taste
pinch of turmeric
1 tsp coriander powder
8-10 fresh curry leaves
2 tsp oil
fresh coriander leaves to garnish

Preparation:
  1. Heat oil in thick bottomed pan and add cumin seeds, curry leaves ,onions , green chillies and fry for 2 mins.
  2. Add ginger garlic paste and fry till raw smell leaves.
  3. Now add turmeric and salt and fry with lid. Covering with lid makes onions cook fast.
