Prawns in Mustard Sauce | Mustard Prawn Recipe

Prawns in Mustard Sauce – one of the delectable Prawn Recipes from the East Indian Cuisine. This recipe is adapted from ‘The East Indian Cookery Book.’

Basically, Prawns in a Mustard sauce is a recipe where we cook prawns in a Vindaloo Masala Paste with lots of mustard. The quantity of mustard in this recipe is a little more than you would usually add. Mustard adds a pungent taste to the sauce or gravy making it delectable and flavourful.

I remember mum making this prawn recipe a few times but was not sure of the ingredients until I stumbled upon the EI Cookery Book. The book also has a few more prawn recipes that I had never tried before and I wish to include those in this blog.

This is a must-try recipe for those who have never tasted it. The thick tangy, spicy sauce with the flavour of prawns and a pungent taste of mustard is a recipe that will satiate your taste buds.

Mustard Prawns – Ingredients

  • Prawns/Shrimps. Prawns with skin intact make a wonderful recipe. You could use skinless prawns, this tastes good too. I have used about 9 to 10 medium prawns for this recipe.
  • Mustard Sauce. For the Mustard Sauce or gravy, make a smooth paste with these ingredients, adding water –
    • Mustard – 2 tbsp
    • Dried Red Chillies – 6
    • Garlic cloves -6
    • Ginger – 1 inch
    • Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
    • Turmeric – 1/2 tsp
    • Vinegar – 2 tbsp
  • Sugar & Salt. Sugar to balance the taste of the sauce is optional though but I recommend not to skip the sugar. Add salt to taste.
  • Oil for cooking. Use any vegetable oil of your choice. Just 3 to 4 tbsp is fine.
