Madras Shrimp Curry
For the sake of variety, change the main ingredient to meat, poultry, fish, seafood, vegetables or tofu. Anything that seems appropriate for a curry will do and only cooking time changes (cover the pot for longer-cooking ingredients).
In the end, only the thickening liquid has to be chosen and the decision of whether to add garlic and/or pepper, has to be made. variations at this point are almost infinite.
For this curry, we recommend not shelling the shrimp. The sauce will be much better for two reasons: the shells give a lot of flavour to the sauce, and it is always tastier to eat with your fingers.
