Fresh fenugreek leaves (discard stems)
1 1/8 cups


Drain the shrimp and mix with the powder spices and salt.

Heat the oil in a kadai or wok. Add the whole spices and stir a few times, add the onion and stir-fry until golden. Then add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink.

Drop in the fenugreek and stir well. Cook over low heat until the shrimp are done. The dish should be dry but should have a creamy flavor because of the fried onions.
