The Malabar Coast is located along the southwestern coastline of India and is known for its fusion cuisine and coastal food. Food from this region has Dutch influence, Portuguese influence, Arabic, and yet a mix of South and Western Indian flavors. Spicy Malabar Shrimp Curry is a stew of succulent, crisp shrimp in a spicy sauce with ground red chilies, tangy tamarind, mustard seeds, shredded coconut, ginger garlic paste, sambar powder, and curry leaves. Traditionally you would eat this over steamed banana leaves to enhance the flavors of fresh-caught shrimp. This dish is a huge hit with kids as the sweetness of coconut blends the mix of spices.
