Even though the spices used for making this curry are mostly Indian, I got a feeling that I am enjoying Thai\/Vietnamese dish. This curry is spicy with slightly tangy flavors swimming around and is strongly aromatic. And the fresh tail on shrimp in it made this curry taste even more delightful. You have two choices, either serve this curry along with plain rice\/Jasmine rice\/rice noodles or enjoy it as a soup. I tried both ways and found both of them are equally good.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I adopted this recipe from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/projects.washingtonpost.com\/recipes\/2011\/04\/06\/kolambi-kaju-curry\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sanjeev Kapoor<\/a> and tweaked quite a bit to suit my taste. I also added green pepper along with shrimp. Vegetarians can make this using a mix of green pepper, red pepper, carrots, beans etc, it&#8217;s going to taste great this way too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Curry Shrimp<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7414\" title=\"green shrimp curry\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/shrimp-cilantro-curry1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/shrimp-cilantro-curry1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/shrimp-cilantro-curry1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/shrimp-cilantro-curry1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To make into a paste:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Garlic- 5 cloves<\/li>\n<li>Ginger, fresh- 2 inch slice<\/li>\n<li>Cloves, whole- 4<\/li>\n<li>Cinnamon, whole- 2 inch slice<\/li>\n<li>Whole pepper corns- 5<\/li>\n<li>Cilantro, chopped- 3 stalks 0r 1\/4 cup chopped<\/li>\n<li>Green chili, chopped- 1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For making curry:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Large Shrimp, deveined tail on- 15<\/li>\n<li>Onion, chopped small- 1<\/li>\n<li>Garlic, minced- 3 cloves<\/li>\n<li>Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li>Green pepper, diced- 1<\/li>\n<li>Turmeric powder- 2 pinches<\/li>\n<li>Chill powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Tamarind paste- small gooseberry sized soaked in 3 tbsp warm water<\/li>\n<li>Lemon grass-\u00a01 stalk only the white part<\/li>\n<li>Water- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Coconut milk, thick- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instruction<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In a blender, grind the above mentioned &#8220;to make a paste&#8221;
