Prawns Chow Fun

Tips

  • Prep Ahead: Prepare the Chow Fun sauce and marinate the prawns in advance to streamline the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh wide rice noodles for the best texture and flavor. Fresh prawns will also enhance the dish’s taste.
  • Even Prawn Cooking: When cooking the prawns, ensure they are spread evenly in the hot oil to cook uniformly on both sides. Avoid overcrowding the pan for a better sear.
  • High Heat Sautéing: Sauté garlic and ginger on high heat for just 30 seconds to release their flavors without burning them.
  • Golden Brown Onions: Sauté onions until they achieve a light golden brown color. This adds a sweet depth to the dish.
  • Quick Tossing: Toss the noodles on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes to allow them to absorb the flavors of the sauce without becoming overly soft.
  • Balanced Sauce Distribution: Ensure an even distribution of the Chow Fun sauce throughout the noodles to achieve a harmonious flavor in every bite.
  • Freshness Matters: Add moong bean sprouts and green onions towards the end of cooking to retain their freshness and crunch.
  • Final Drizzle: The drizzle of sesame oil at the end imparts a rich, nutty flavor. Use it sparingly for that perfect finishing touch.
  • Serve Immediately: Prawns Chow Fun is best enjoyed hot and fresh. Serve immediately to savor the optimal taste and texture of the dish.

  • Onion and Tomato: Onions and tomatoes form the base of the curry, providing sweetness and acidity respectively. They also add moisture and help create a flavorful gravy. Onions contribute to the caramelization process, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.
  • Ginger Garlic Paste: Ginger and garlic paste adds aromatic flavor and depth to the curry. It’s a common ingredient in Indian cooking, known for its ability to enhance the taste of dishes while also providing health benefits such as boosting immunity and aiding digestion.

Sri Lankan Fish Curry


“Meen Kulambu” is a traditional Sri Lankan fish curry that is known for its rich and flavorful taste. The word “Meen” means fish, and “Kulambu” refers to curry or stew in Tamil, the language spoken by the Tamil ethnic group in Sri Lanka. This curry is a staple in Sri Lankan cuisine and is often enjoyed with rice, bread, or string hoppers.

Tips

  • Marination: Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes with salt and turmeric. This step enhances the flavor of the fish.
  • Choice of Fish: Choose fresh and firm fish for better results. Recommend Spanish mackerel for Sri Lankan Meen Kulambu, but you can use other varieties according to your preference.
  • Use of Mud Pot: If available, using a mud pot can add a traditional touch to the dish. However, a regular pan works well too.
  • Sauteing Aromatics: Take care not to burn the crushed ginger and garlic. Saute them just until aromatic for about 10 seconds.
  • Goraka/Tamarind: Adjust the quantity of Goraka or tamarind paste according to your preferred level of tanginess.
  • Coconut Milk Timing: Add coconut milk after the initial spice powders have been cooked to avoid curdling. Stir well to incorporate.
  • Cooking Time for Fish: Cook the fish on a medium flame to ensure it’s cooked evenly without overcooking.

FAQs

Q. Can I use a different type of fish for Sri Lankan Meen Kulambu?
A: Yes, you can use your preferred fish. Ensure it is fresh and firm for the best results.

Q. Can I use tamarind instead of Goraka?
A: Absolutely. If Goraka is not available, tamarind paste makes for an excellent substitute.

Q. Can I make Sri Lankan Meen Kulambu curry less spicy?
A: Adjust the quantity of green chilies and chili powder according to your spice preference.

Q. How can I determine when the fish is cooked?
A: You can determine when the fish is cooked by checking if it flakes easily with a fork. Ensure you cook it on a medium flame to prevent overcooking.

Q. Can I prepare this curry in advance?
A: Yes, the flavors often improve when allowed to sit for a while. Reheat gently before serving.
