Spicy shrimp with rice

Needed:

Shrimp (duh !!)

rice (again duh !!)

onions 1-2

tomatoes 2-4

spices:

ginger - abt 2 pieces of 1 inch

garlic - 2-3 cloves

some cumin seeds (jeera)

some mustard seeds

some coriander seeds (dhania)

peppercorns / powdered pepper

salt to taste

red chilli powder,

turmeric powder,

sugar

(essentially all the spices except asofoetida (hing))

procedure:

1) dry the shrimp (dead, deveined and headless... preferrably tailless too).. sprinkle some salt over them... then fry in a pan with little oil till they are crispy.. dont try to eat them like that to check whether they are crispy, they taste awful.. but try poking them with a fork.. remove the shrimp once they are fried.. let the oil be there

2)mix all the spices mentioned above in a small bowl with half a tablespoon of olive oil (or any other oil).. make a 'paste' (this would depend on whether u hv a blender or not)

3) finely chop onions and tomatoes and fry them in the same oil as before.. fry till the tomatoes dry up..

4) add the spice mixture and fried shrimp.. fry them for some time (until u get bored).. sprinkle some salt and sugar on the mixture..

5) hopefully by this time, u shud hv cooked rice in a pressure cooker.. serve the shrimp with the rice..
