i saw this recipe online last winter, but decided to wait until i would have fresh mint and tomatos from my garden in summer, and make proper coconut milk for a fresh coconut. this is a FANTASTIC dish!! my mom is goan, and the flavors really just bought back awesome memories of homecooked food of my childhood. thank you guys so much!

@peacelily2025 you can probably do a vegetarian variant of this

Reddylion October 24, 2010 at 10:11 am

Love this dish

ShowMeTheCurry October 24, 2010 at 10:25 am

@angelpari21
This is a Goan recipe so coconut milk is an essential flavor.

angelpari21 October 24, 2010 at 11:18 am

does coconut milk is necessary to add?

Junglegal88 October 24, 2010 at 12:25 pm

No doubt about it and it’s very delicious but the cholestoral and fat of this dish kill a lot of eaters….

Kaboose786 October 24, 2010 at 12:41 pm

ShowMeTheCurry October 24, 2010 at 12:53 pm

Dear Hetal and Anuja
Hello from Australia. Just wanted to say a big thank you for doing such an incredible job with Show Me The Curry.

aceabhay1 October 24, 2010 at 1:32 pm

WOW!!! it looks so tasty,,,well done!

ShowMeTheCurry October 24, 2010 at 1:45 pm

Yes, you can use a regular pot, just make sure it has a heavy bottom.
Cook on high, uncovered for 10 min
then reduce the heat to absolute simmer and cook covered for 18 min (stirring in between). Add ghee and turn off the stove and let it rest covered for 5-7 mins.

Neemitup881 October 24, 2010 at 2:12 pm

I’m planning to make this tonight. Can I cook it in a regular pot ???? Please let me know how much liquid to use and minutes

Desi4evah October 24, 2010 at 2:23 pm

No.. Dairy and seafood don’t go together. :) They react… :)

Desi4evah October 24, 2010 at 2:56 pm

Hetal and Anuja, I make a similar version, which is more or less Shrimp Pulao.. I don’t use coconut milk… But this looks great! :D

jamespancake October 24, 2010 at 3:43 pm

One whistle is roughly 3 minutes.

sanjusb2010 October 24, 2010 at 4:21 pm

hi…can i use regular milk?

Manjulasbiggestfan October 24, 2010 at 5:18 pm

The recipe sounds good but my pressure cooker doesnt have a whistle..its a futura. How long would you say to cook it without overcooking the shrimp and cooking the rice? thank you

pyronc October 24, 2010 at 5:20 pm

This recipe sounds divine. I don’t have a presssure cooker. Can I make it in a regular pot and just add hot coconut milk and put the lid on low for 15-20 minutes? I was worried about overcooking the shrimp.

peacelily2025 October 24, 2010 at 5:27 pm

I am a vegetarian but would just like to say that you guyz are really good! Keep it up!

silvicdc October 24, 2010 at 5:29 pm

my pressure cooker is without whistle! how can I measure the time?
Help me plzz!!

Weewinkle7 October 24, 2010 at 5:52 pm

WOW! I definitely gota make this! When you poured in the coconut milk I just about melted! No joke. Yeah, I love food, great job guys 5 stars!

nitfeu October 24, 2010 at 6:49 pm

First let me introduce myself.. I’m an indian. We indians need to accept one thing, we love spicy food. We can’t expect everyone to love our recipes as such. Infact gary is frm london & London people normally don prefer spiciness. He has incorporated indian cooking in London at his restaurants, 4 tat we need to appreciate and thank him. He needs to satisfy his people wit d taste and d goodness of indian cooking. Indians normally welcome all kinds of people please don hurt them wit such comments.

dinozavara October 24, 2010 at 7:41 pm

I’m sorry but this doesn’t look right, all these spices…..hmmmmmm

monkeykrueger October 24, 2010 at 8:08 pm

cause he’s a fastidious concervative …. good chef though….. boring man but…. thougha really really nice guy i reackon….. top bloke …..

qa1001xz October 24, 2010 at 9:00 pm

If one travels to see/learn about other cultures then one should not make faces,rude gestures. If defeats the whole point of being there !

ddbd October 24, 2010 at 9:48 pm

rude little twerp.

AbstractMan23 October 24, 2010 at 10:00 pm

“does this look right?”
“put the whole lot – are you sure? there’s an awful of of cumin”
hmmm what a patronising arrogant fool.
he’s so painful to watch…

ksenos69 October 24, 2010 at 10:09 pm

pretty hot day, wasn’t it?

Will137 October 24, 2010 at 10:29 pm

Err… so is the basic idea that he’s gone to India – to teach Indian people how to cook their own dishes,,, in their own country?

dann756 October 24, 2010 at 11:09 pm

stop with the hate….he is a good guy

cjeremie October 24, 2010 at 11:54 pm

if he ever came here to Australia with that attitude we’d flog him with a whip and he would go crying to mamma.

yasinansari October 25, 2010 at 12:50 am

I would love to see ONE of you put out recipe that can contend with Gary Rhodes stuff. Fascinating how the incompetent generally have an opinion on everything …

mgbuk October 25, 2010 at 1:00 am

Anyway you look at it, prawns curried, WHY?

huneydubs October 25, 2010 at 1:02 am

The dish looks really good, but dude…..why do you have to negotiate on the spices at all..

danielshacalis October 25, 2010 at 1:43 am

I fully agree with you. I mean I personally would eat a lot better in a Taverna in Athens than at Ramsay or such and such’s restaurants.

CookingwithSean October 25, 2010 at 1:45 am

Huge prawns!! Awesome dish, I love it.

hablerz October 25, 2010 at 2:01 am

When in India, do as the Indians do. Dont be shy with those spices oil and salt, thats whats its all about.

zoragirl4 October 25, 2010 at 2:59 am

Why is he trying to change the recipe? I like that she insisted that he put all the spice in the dish! He needs to be quiet and follow the directions. If he wants to cook his own recipe then he should do so; the whole point is to LEARN from other chefs and cultures!

The14thDoctor October 25, 2010 at 3:41 am

I have to agree chandley1976.

Unfortunately like so many so called “top chefs” the ego has overtaken the talent. They become rude, bossy, arrogant and aggressive and there is no need for it.

There are a few VERY nice chefs around, but sadly they are now in a minority :(

The14thDoctor October 25, 2010 at 3:58 am

His delivery (& voice) has definitely changed over the years.

People like me who have watched him for a long time will know what I mean when I say that he’s gone from the “market stall” to the “perfume counter” lol. Watch earlier Rhodes, then watch him now and you’ll see ;)

ApopheniaIV October 25, 2010 at 4:02 am

them prawns look more like lobsters

angryniggah October 25, 2010 at 5:01 am

after seeing this again 2 mos. later: this chef is great as is the dish, and he’s taking her instructions not being unbearable….did i mention we’re dating.

shamizBiird October 25, 2010 at 5:55 am

flippin hell its all bout what he wants. let her do it otherwise y flippin ask her moron. honestli, hhe gets too big headed

StreghetteXXX October 25, 2010 at 6:52 am

hahahahha! exactly…!

youtrojaxtube October 25, 2010 at 7:18 am

Me Me Me its all about me…..let her cook the dish ya numpty!

chandley1976 October 25, 2010 at 7:25 am

Hes one of the best chefs in England, and I think hes become pretty affected over the years because of this. He recently did one of these series in China too, and was the same there too. Ive got no doubt that hes a better chef than the people hes talking to, as European chefs have international knoledge, whereas Asian chefs only really know their own food, just as Asian people only eat their own food as a rule. But yeah, he should listen to these people since they are the experts. Cock eh :)
