Introduction
This is one of my favourite dishes since early childhood------each time it pours I get a craving for this---thanks to the Konkani blood inherited from my mother!!!!Unshelled pink coloured small shrimp is salted and dried in the open Air under the Sun from December onwards till crisp and dry.This is then stored in large Ceramic jars(Barnis) to protect it from Weather changes and keep it fresh.The desired quantity is removed,heads and tails discarded and this is cooked in a variety of ways with various Vegetables and by itself too----of all those styles, this simple way is the one I relish the most!!!This Dried Shrimp is available in most Chinese Stores----both the unshelled and shelled varieties.

Ingredients
-
250gms.Dried Shrimp(Suki Karandi/Sukat)
150gms.Potatoes
150gms.Shallots(Red Onions)
100gms.Tomatoes
5 hot Green Chillies
1tbsp.Crab & Shell Masala Powder
1tsp.Turmeric Powder
1tsp.Asafoetida (Hing)Powder
Salt to taste
5tbsps.Sunflower Oil
OR
3tbsps.Rice Bran Oil
GARNISHING
1small bunch Fresh Coriander(Cilantro)Leaves
3tbsps.Raw Coconut shredded(OPTIONAL)
Directions
PREPARATION
Remove the head and the tiny tail of the Dried Shrimps and wash clean under the tap in a Colander to remove excess Salt.Set aside to drain.
Peel and dice the Potatoes in even sized pieces and chop the Shallots and tomatoes finely.Slit the hot Green Chillies lengthwise and mince the Coriander Leaves very finely.
METHOD
Heat Oil in a non-stick Wok and lower flame.Add the Asafoetida Powder and saute for 30 seconds.Fry the Shallots till almost browned.Add the slit green Chillies and fry till crisp and golden.Add in the diced Potatoes and fry till the aroma of the Vegetables wafts up.Add the Turmeric Powder and fry for 1 minute more.Now stir in the Chopped Tomatoes,Curry Powder and Salt to taste.Cover and cook for 7-10 minutes on low flame till Potatoes are almost cooked.Add the drained Shrimp and cook covered for a further 7-10 minutes till well steamed and cooked through.Garnish with finely minced Coriander Leaves and shredded Raw Coconut and serve hot as a side dish with your meal.This tastes very good if teamed with hot steamed Rice and Dal----just yummy!!!
TIPS
In the Calorie Chart I have calculated for 500gms. cooked Shrimp instead of 250 gms.Dried Shrimp since there was no Dry Shrimp listed.Also since the Shrimp is first soaked in Salt Water and then dried,remember to add Salt as required for the Vegetables only while cooking these or the dish will be too Salty---impossible to eat!!!1
