Sukho Galmo ( Dry small shrimp dish)

I like seafood but am not much of a galmo fan, but my husband likes fish a lot so made this for him.

Ingredients.

2 cups Galmo (dry small shrimp), washed and rinsed twice with water,

1 medium onion, chopped fine,

1 tomato, chopped into 1 inch pieces,

2 new potatoes, chopped into 1 inch pieces,

1/2 tsp turmeric powder,

1 tbsp paprika,

5 tbsp coconut milk,

2 tbsp garam masala,

5-6 pieces of sola (kokum),

1 tsp salt,

1 tbsp oil.

Method.

• Heat oil in a pan on medium heat add the chopped onions and potatoes and stir fry till they are well coated with the oil.
• Next add the salt, turmeric powder, paprika, garam masala and a couple of tbsp of water.
• Reduce heat to low , cover the pan and let the potatoes cook til tender.
• Then add the washed galmo(dry shrimp), chopped tomato, sola(kokum) and the coconut milk. Adjust water for the consistency.
• Cover again and cook till everything is well cooked and blended.
• Serve with hot steamed rice and may be a simple bhaji like beans bhaji.

Note.

I got galmo (dry small shrimp ) from a Chinese store.

This is not a traditional goan recipe but sometimes I cook fresh shrimp in this manner too, so well decided to make the galmo in that manner.

I get my stock of kokum when I visit goa, India.
