Royyalu Aakura Curry (Shrimp Veggie Curry)

I love shrimp. But because of its high cholesterol virtues I only cook it occasionally. This recipe gives an alternate way of having shrimp by cooking it with veggies. This makes it a more healthier choice with a chance of experimenting with different vegetables for different flavors.
My mother-in-law cooks a batch of shrimp and pairs them everyday with a different vegetable. Each day is a flavor feast while keeping your cholesterol in check.

Ingredients:
Shrimp
Vegetable like Thotakura/Chavuli/Amarnath Leaves, Gongura/Pitwaa/Sorrel Leaves, Dosakkaya/Keera/Cucumber
Onion
Chillies
Ginger garlic paste
Turmeric powder
Red chilli powder
Salt
Oil
Water
Tadka: Mustard seeds, Jeera, Chana Dal

Method:
  1. Clean Shrimp and boil them in a pan with water, salt, turmeric powder and ginger garlic paste till the water is drained.Keep it aside. If you are making a big batch you can put in fridge for 2-3 days and only use some in the dish. 
  2. Wash and drain vegetables and cut them
  3. Put tadka in oil in a pan and fry
  4. Add onions and chillies and fry
  5. Add cooked shrimp and mix
  6. After a little while add the cut vegetables
  7. Cover pan with lid and let the curry cook in the vegetable's juice, no need to add water
  8. After a while add red chilli powder and stir 
  9. Switch of gas when veggies are done
