Then, lightly dry roast the cumin seeds, coriander seeds, black peppercorns, fennel seeds and transform them into a fine powder in a dry mill.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the curry leaves.
Now add the ginger and garlic paste and fry over low heat until the raw smell is gone.
Discard the shrimp and fry them for a few more minutes. Do not overfry as the shrimp will get tough if you overcook them.
Add the ground spice powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, salt and mix well.
If necessary, add water to prevent the masala from burning.
When the raw masala smell is gone, turn off the flame and serve hot.
