Coconut shrimp!

This has to go down as the easiest thing to cook.. Also, really delicious especially during the monsoon..

shrimp-- 12 medium sized
shredded coconut/ coconut powder -- 1/4 cup
cilantro -- 3 stalks
coriander powder -- 1/2 tsp
4 slit green chillies
a bay leaf
mustard seeds -- for tempering
oil
onion -- 1/2 medium sized [yellow onions are good for this] sliced fine
turmeric powder -- a pinch
salt
garlic paste -- 1 1/2 tsp [ from the tube.. or chopped garlic... can you chop garlic? I can't]

Heat oil in wok,  fry the onions, and the garlic paste till the onions are slightly browned and then add the chillies and fry the coconut till it starts to get golden brown and the oil separates.. Add the turmeric and coriander powder and salt. I use frozen cooked shrimp, but fresh shrimp only takes 2 minutes to cook anyway, so cooking time doesn't really change that much. Add the shrimp and some water maybe 1 cup - 1cup and half [ more if you want to eat this as a soup as opposed to a kinda stew that tastes good with rice] and let it simmer for a bit. Add lime juice and tempered mustard seeds. Top it off with fresh cilantro chopped fine.

Total time involved : 15 minutes tops, 10 if you're good :)
