Ingredients:

Serving

2 oz tamarind pulp (2 golf-ball size pieces)
12 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 lemon , juice of, ripe
salt
1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
3/4 tsp black mustard seeds
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seed
20 fresh curry leaves
3 garlic cloves, sliced
1/2 tsp asafetida powder
2 cups grape tomatoes
1 -2 fresh green chile, minced
1/2 tsp curry powder ( sambar or madras)
1/2 inch jaggery ( brown cane sugar
1 tbsp thai fish sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:

Soak the tamarind pulp in six cups of very hot water (bring it to a boil and then pour it over the tamarind) for 20 minutes and crush it with the back of a spoon to make a pulp.
Marinate the shrimp in lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside in the fridge.
In a deep soup pot, heat the vegetable oil on medium heat and add the mustard and cumin seeds, fenugreek, curry leaves and garlic, and cook 3-4 minutes. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop and crackle out of the pan, add the asafetida, tomatoes and green chilies. Stir for a couple minutes and then add the curry powder. Be careful as the mustard seeds will pop out of the pan!
After about 4-5 minutes, when the tomatoes have started to wilt and become soft, pour in the strained tamarind gravy.
Stir in the jaggery piece and the fish sauce, and heat for about 10 minutes. Make sure the jaggery dissolves completely. Adjust salt, if needed. Once the oil begins to separate, and little pools of oil form on the surface, add the shrimp and cook until just opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook the shrimp!
Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Serve piping hot in bowls.
