Epic recipe. Perfect for the current cost of living crisis. Why pay for 4 prawns at a restaurant, when you feed the whole family (6+) for the same price.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Thanks HaloodieFoodie... 🙌

[@TheBinoyVudi]

The prices at restaurants have been going up steadily over the last 3 years, and SHOT UP DRAMATICALLY in the last 5 months in the United States. It costs about $60 - $100 for a decent Indian/Pakistani dinner for 2 at a good restaurant, compared to about $40 3 years ago. Thank you for this recipe. I'll try it out :) and "bhunning" might as well become another English word now like countless other words from south asia

As salaam aleikum Shaz We have 2 local Indians here near Basinstoke In Hampshire and they both give you 5 king prawns 🍤 in whatever dish you order….. Colin

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Colin, its honesty not worth paying for 5 prawns when 3 packets cost the same amount as the curry. Thanks 😊

[@ngliscsaxon6128]

Thanks for your recipes. I absolutely love Desi homestyle 'curries' over BIR style.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

They just taste so much better! Thanks 😊

[@ajit1000]

Wonderful! Try open frying the onions in the beginning, Add tomatoes and chopped/slit green chilles with the prawns. You forgot to mention that oil should start separating, which means that masala is actually cooked. Lastly, I would add vinegar instead of water at the last stage to make it tangy. That is how I cook when I make it with noodles. Otherwise, sky is the limit, you can cook it with coconut milk, add some cheese ... basically that 6-8 minutes is your time window, after that the prawns start tasting like a rubber.

[@johngulliver6151]

I cooked this yesterday OMG best bhuna I've ever had, thank you so much for posting. I love your recipes, they are the best.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

My pleasure 😊 glad you like it.

[@anjnag6965]

So true, you know i like going to restaurants and also want to get food delivered but always get disappointed for the high price as well as not tasting any good. I just want to keep on cooking at home by myself, delicious food for my family of four for the price of one.😀

[@Taseeer62]

Try to make if possible 'kadu ghosht' salun n 'Ghia torri ghosht' saalan in desi style!!!

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Will definitely be sharing this recipe soon.

[@inammirza235]

wonderful cooking but if u fry onion till golden brown color then ur every dish will b more tasty and flavourful love from Pakistan ❤️

[@mviltd]

MashAllah

[@montymagic5886]

If ever I go to an Indian restaurant I'm so boring I always have Prawn Madras or Ceylon. Cant resist them. Sadly, the, 'under generous', amount of Prawns are often overcooked, especially in takeaways. Yours looks to die for and I cant wait to cook this. I like to sprinkle a bit of sugar in...🤔..Thank you Shamza great vid as always 🥰

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Thank you and you're welcome 😊

[@Red_Snappa]

Love the way you use everyday ingredients like the G&G frozen blocks that you can get from almost ANY supermarket these days (which don't taste any different either, btw). The bhuna stage ('phuna' as you say it - which is it??) seems to be THE key, and THE most important part of the cooking phase....I look forward to your video of this process - (no-one seems to spend anytime on this, but it's SO important to how your curry ends up as just , OK...or really GREAT!) Your Dhansak btw, is now my GO TO version of it - my missus' (and my son's) fav curry of ALL time, and she/he won't have any other version of it, other than yours...Cheers Shamza 👍😉

[@taono]

got to agree m8, the fry/reduce repeat worked for me too, makes a whole lotta difference to a dish!

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Thank you so much 🙏 and its Bhunning. It's the most crucial stage of the cook. So happy that you now have a go to Dhansak recipe loved by the family 👍

[@immyrashid3712]

@@MyLittleKitchenRecipes the thing is I tried cooking it like you do and I think should have reduced the heat wish I lived near you so I could order the food lol have a lovely day ❤️

[@nitelite78]

Looks fantastic. I think a lot of takeaways would use blended plum tomatoes and/or tomato puree instead of fresh diced tomato for the sauce. I think the fresh tomato really makes a difference. Makes it much fresher I think and more appealing colour.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Totally, fresh everything makes a difference to any dish but saying that using tinned tomatoes won't really alter the taste of the end product, it will probably just give it a lovely deep orangey red colour.

Hi, love your channel, spot on! It’s just me and the long haired General at home so if cooking for 2, do I just half the ingredients? Would this effect the taste?

you can never have too many prawns, can i come to your house for tea?? ive just made a tandoori chicken jalfrazi, going to make the chipati's shortly

[@whitebeardskitchen6473]

Brilliant recipe and looks delicious. Love cooking and eating Indian food. Have Kashmiri chilli powder but would love to know the brand Shamza that you recommend.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Thanks. I normally use the East End brand as that's what the local Asian shop stocks near me but to be fair any brand it good enough.

Hi Chris, thank you for your kind words. This particular pan is a Queenwest trading belly pot which I picked up from Homesense but Tkmax also do them too. See if you're local one has any.

What a delicious recipe! Could you use this particular recipe for a prawn on puri starter dish ?

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Yes, definitely I don't see why not

[@gorringeman]

Wonderful and I'm just about to make this, maybe add some lemon juice, or slices. Shamza one quick question as it bugs me, is non stick a bad idea for punning? I currently use stainless but fancy a new curry pan

[@jadefleming3947]

I've used cherry tomatoes don't don't I would use them again xx

[@80skid63]

[@Lucretia9000]

Should it be bay or tej patta, how would it affect the flavour?

[@rukshanaali4958]

I've been waiting for this recipe! Quick question. Is this 700g frozen ? Or after it's defrosted? Won't frozen weigh more than defrosted? Sorry if it's a silly question but I just want to get the measurements right thank you 😊

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Hi, sorry for the late reply, it's 700g frozen.

[@saeedawalimohammed1776]

Shamsa a prawn curry in Los Angeles runs $18 on the low end and $32 on the high end.

[@simonmartin1201]

Didn’t see the spices go in, so I’ll add mine after the tomatoes.

[@martinsoanes3007]

Add them with your ginger and garlic 👍

[@RashidRaja]

She put them in at 4:55 ish

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

hi they went in with the garlic an ginger at around 4:55. Thanks :)

[@1sciaca]

Just made a batch for later tonight where I will carry on from when you add the prawns, one question my masala looks deep red whereas yours is more yellow in colour, not sure how that came about as I followed your recipe to the letter. Cannot wait to taste it later, thanks.

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Sometimes the spices vary in colour due to different branding, the final product will have tasted the sane though. 😊🙌

[@martinsoanes3007]

Do you add the cardamons whole or do you split them ?

[@MyLittleKitchenRecipes]

Always whole Martin as you don't want to be biting on the seeds as they've a really strong flavour which isn't liked by many.

Interesting you use G masale for garnish. I always thought you had to temper it in oil

Garam masala is always used at the end of the cook and never normally added to hot oil to temper.

[@sanamir1987]

Pair it with chapati rotis?
