Malabar Shrimp Curry
Chef Guarav crafts this South Indian curry the traditional way—starting by toasting spices like fenugreek and mustard seeds to release all their essential oils, then sautéing aromatic vegetables and adding creamy coconut milk, tangy tomatoes, and sweet tamarind paste. Once the flavors have melded, he gives succulent spice-rubbed shrimp a quick sear to lock in juiciness, then finishes them in the sauce. The accompanying rice is no second fiddle—studded with raisins and cashews, it’s infused with the warmth of cinnamon and clove, plus ghee (aka clarified butter) for richness.
