Goan Lady's Finger Curry With Prawns / Lady's Finger Caldinho / Prawns Caldinho Recipe

Goan Lady's Finger Caldinho / Prawns Caldinho Recipe: This Goan lady's finger curry with prawns is a coconut milk-based curry that is delicious but only mildly spiced. This Portuguese origin curry is called a caldinho, or caldine, which is its more popular Konkani name.
The most important ingredient in this lady's finger curry with prawns is coconut milk. It is the coconut milk that gives the curry or caldinho its creamy texture and delicious taste. Goa's classic caldinho is usually made with prawns or fish or else with a mix of seafood and a local vegetable. Lady's fingers or bhendi is a popular choice of vegetable for caldine. The recipe presented here can be modified to make it with only lady's fingers or only prawns.
The iconic Goan caldinho is loved by all - by grown-ups and children. And everyone ends up relishing a second helping. So whether you choose to make a lady's finger caldinho, or one with just prawns, or perhaps a mix of both as in this video, you'll surely be glad you gave this recipe a shot. It's that tasty! And not difficult to make at all.

I normally do it along with the heads of the prawns .

[@PataCake]

@@jenniferaguiar4237 , yes, I know a lot of people do that. My mother too liked it that way. But in my family, no one much cares for the heads! I guess, ultimately we cook a dish the way our family enjoys it.

[@cynthiamachado8168]

Can the ground masala be used as it is, for the curry without straining it?

[@PataCake]

Yes it can, Cynthia. But then reduce the amount of coconut by half. And add water to the curry while cooking it. In that case, it will be a green coconut curry. When the curry is made with purely coconut milk, it is called a caldinho / cladine.

[@isabelledsilva9513]

Hi Pat a cake nice watching your video. I hve my doubt where okra is concerned how to avoid okra fm Slimy. Is it the sourness pls explain how to avoid slimy sticky okra

[@PataCake]

Isabelle, thanks for your appreciation. About the sliminess of okra, that get's cut down very easily by anything sour you add in the curry. That could be tamarind extract like we do in this curry or even lime juice as in some other recipes.

[@ursulaquadros6489]

Hello my dear imade the kulkuls can i fry them tom its ok or do i have to fry them straight away please let mek

[@PataCake]

Hi Ursula!! If you want to fry the kulkuls tomorrow, see that you cover them well and store them in a single layer preferably. If you want to pile them up in more than one layer, put a piece of parchment paper between every two layers.

[@brendacastelino4748]

Very tasty curry. 💕

[@PataCake]

Thank you so much for your love and appreciation, Brenda.

[@felixalmeida481]

Looks delicious, Veena. I’m intrigued; what’s the benefit of pre-frying the prawns? Also, I’m assuming if I use bindichi solam, I’d need to reduce the amount of tamarind, right? Yours is a rich treasure-trove of Goan cuisine! The added touch of beautiful Konkani music provides just the right feeling of saudades ❤

[@PataCake]

Many thanks for your generous appreciation, Felix. Frying the prawns lightly first makes sure they stay intact in the curry. And yes, the sour bindea solam will replace some of the tamarind which you'll have to reduce accordingly.

[@lourdinadcosta9996]

Thank you for the receipe. My mum special dish some times she used to put drumstick.(veg)

[@PataCake]

You're most welcome, Lourdina. And yes, our mothers and grandmothers often mixed prawns with suitable vegetables so that a small quantity of expensive sea food could go a long way, especially when it came to feeding a large family. Lady's fingers, drumsticks, dudhi (bottle gourd), cauliflower.... these were some vegetables that went into such tasty and much loved prawn and vegetable curries.

[@jocyleenfernandes578]

What happened to the soak tamarind why vinegar ???

[@PataCake]

You're most welcome. And thank you for your appreciation.

[@PataCake]

@@louisamascarenhas9009, I've added the tamarind extract in the recipe. Please watch the video again. And vinegar, especially palm vinegar, adds a distinctive taste to Goan curries. Hope I've answered your questions. If you need any more clarifications, please don't hesitate to get in touch again.

Thank you so much.

[@deepalikhore9566]

We can also use drumstick or cauliflower instead of ladyfinger

[@PataCake]

Yes, Deepali, you can. But then you'll have to add a little less tamarind extract. Thanks for getting in touch.

[@lewisida]

Can we make cauliflower with prawns same receipie

[@PataCake]

Yes of course, Lewisida. You can also use dudhi (bottle gourd).

[@yvettefernandes5107]

Made this curry for lunch today with steamed rice and Bombay ducks. Very tasty curry, mildly spiced and family enjoyed it. However, duce to lack of time and patience, skipped the removal if thin and thick coconut milk. Instead ground the masala very fine. The curry still turned great.

[@PataCake]

So glad your curry turned out great, Yvette. But the next time, do extract the coconut milk and make it. For caldines, the star ingredient is coconut milk. That's what gives this kind of curry a delicious creamy texture. But for a regular coconut curry, this same recipe can be easily adapted by grinding the grated coconut finely instead, exactly as you did.

[@cyrilaceciliaafonso488]

Chicken curry recipe

[@PataCake]

Have you checked out my chicken xacuti video, Connie? Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHS5hXawfbmHadU

[@janetstephens6986]

What if we don't store tamarind

[@PataCake]

You need some souring agent in this recipe, Janet. In place of tamarind, you could add sour lime / lemon juice or even amchur (dried mango powder) if that is available where you live. Yet another option would be vinegar, though a sweeter version of it, like balsamic vinegar. Hope this helps.
