Prep Time : 3 minutes
Cook Time : 30 minutes 
Yield : 4 servings 

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons neutral oil or clarified butter (ghee)
1 large onion
3 tablespoons grated ginger
1 tablespoon grated garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons garam masala
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 cup water
20 medium-to-large shrimp
1/4 cup plain yogurt (I use greek yogurt)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooked rice for serving

Directions:

In a heavy pot such as a dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat.

Add the onion and cook gently until golden, about 20 minutes

Add the ginger, garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, and garam masala.

Add a little oil if necessary to allow the ingredients to blend into a thick-yet-runny consistency, and cook until the flavors have begun to marry and are very fragrant, 3-4 minutes.

Add the water and stir until the mixture is smooth, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp and cook gently over medium heat until they are just cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the yogurt quickly.

Serve immediately with rice.

My notes:  

I absolutely love Indian food and for me, I love it spicy so I add extra garam masala.  Also, this recipe can be made with cooked chicken.  Serve with steamed green beans, or roasted broccoli, and naan (we prefer garlic naan).  If you want garlic naan and can't find it in the store, use standard/regular naan, brush the naan lightly with olive oil and fresh garlic and heat per the package's instructions.
