Taro Stems with Prawns

Ingredients

  • Taro stems (1/2 kg)
  • Green chilies (2–3)
  • Onion (1)
  • Garlic (1–2 cloves)
  • Turmeric powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Ginger paste (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Garlic paste (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Prawns (20–25)
  • Salt (to taste)

Method

  1. First, wash the taro stems well and cut them into pieces. Heat oil in a pot and add chopped onion. When the onion softens slightly, add chopped garlic. A little later, add ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt, and a splash of water, and fry the spices until fragrant. Add the washed prawns and cook for 8–10 minutes. Then add the cut taro stems and cook until tender, adding a little water if needed. The taro stems will be done in 7–8 minutes. Add green chilies 2–3 minutes before taking the pot off the heat. When the gravy has reduced and coats the curry nicely, serve.
