Mamak Style Prawn

Salam everyone,

I got this recipe from Dek Ma but did some alterations (due to insufficient required ingredients...haha). I simply love its all-in-one taste! *sweet, sour, spicy..blablabla*. Let's just see the recipe!

Ingredients :

20 medium-sized prawns

1 lime (just take the juice, but since I didn't have it at home, I replaced it with tamarind juice)

1 big onion (chopped)

3 cloves of garlic (chopped)

1 inch of ginger (thinly sliced)

2 sticks of lemon grass (bruised - partially crushed)

1/2 cup of water

1 tbsp of chilli sauce

1 tbsp of tomato sauce

2 tbsp of curry powder (I used Baba's Meat Curry Powder)

1 teaspoon of chilli powder

2 tbsp of blended chilli

1 tomato (sliced)

2 sticks of celery

Some salt, sugar and white pepper

Some cooking oil

Method :

1) Marinate prawns with salt, white pepper and lime juice for a while.

2) Fry the marinated prawns. Set them aside.

3) In a saucepan, pour some cooking oil and stir fry the onion, garlics and ginger until the mixture becomes aromatic.

4) Add curry powder, blended chillies, chilli powder and lemon grass. Fry them a while.

5) Add tomato sauce, chilli sauce, water, salt, sugar and mix them thoroughly.

6) Lastly, add the prawns, tomato slices and celery.

6) Pour the dish onto a plate and garnish with anything you like (I used red chilli!)

*This is an awesome recipe. Trust me! ;)

3-Flavoured Fresh Water Prawn (Udang Galah XXL Masak 3 Rasa)

They are just sooo HUGEE!! @.@

Salam all,

I got 2kgs of "Udang Galah" in the freezer right now! *excited!* My hubby bought them at Beluran, Sabah, direct from the jetty. In my whole life, this is my first time eating prawns in that gigantic size *pathetic*. My hubby requested me to cook "masak 3 rasa" for him, and I think it is such a good idea since I've been craving for "masak 3 rasa" as well!

The recipe goes as below :

Ingredients :

8 huge-sized prawns (might as well increase the number if you use normal-sized prawns)

Some turmeric powder

6-7 sticks of dried chilli (boil them)*

4 red onions*

2 garlics*

1 inch of ginger*

1 inch of belacan*

1 big onion (sliced)

5 tbsp of chilli sauce

5 tbsp of tomato sauce

4 tbsp of oyster sauce

Salt and sugar (as you like)

Some cooking oil

Some water

3 sticks of celery and 2 tomatoes (as the garnish)

1) Dredge (coat) the prawns with some turmeric powder and salt. Fry them well over a medium-high heat until they turn golden. Put them aside.

2) Blend the ingredients that are marked with * together to form paste(don't forget to use some water)

3) Heat some oil in a frying-pan and fry the sliced big onion.

4) Add the blended ingredients and fry them for a while.

5) Add chilli sauce, tomato sauce and oyster sauce.

6) Pour some water (if you like the gravy to be a bit thick, just put some)

7) Sprinkle some salt and sugar as you like.

8) When the gravy is ready, you can now add the prawns and stir them for a while.

9) Place the dish on a plate and garnish it using celeries and tomatoes :)

10) Your prawns are now ready to be served! ;)
