Adapted from a recipe at Serious Eats
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons canola oil (ghee) or 2 tablespoons clarified butter (ghee)
1 large onion
3 tablespoons grated ginger
1 tablespoon grated garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons garam masala
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup water
salt
ground black pepper
20 large shrimp
1/4 cup plain yogurt
Directions:
1. In a heavy pot, heat the ghee or oil until shimmering. Add onion and cook slowly, stirring often, until golden, about 20 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, tomato paste, garam masala and chili powder. It should be thick, but not pasty; it should drip off a spoon. If too thick, add more ghee or oil. Cook until very fragrant, 3-4 minutes.
2. Add water and stir until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add shrimp and poach gently until cooked through, 3-5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in yogurt. Serve over cooked jasmine or basmati rice.
