How to cook sea shells | Sea Snail Recipe (shells)
This is a post on how to cook sea snails and also some memories attached to it.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Snails (boiled)
- 2 Potatoes, peeled and cut into big cubes
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 small onion sliced
- 1 tbsp East Indian Bottle Masala or any Curry Masala powder
- 1 small ball of tamarind
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp oil for cooking
Instructions
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a vessel and add the onion slices.
- Saute until the onions turn translucent.
- Now add 1 tbsp East Indian Bottle Masala and fry for a minute. Add a splash of water if the masala sticks to the vessel.
- Add potatoes, salt, and the boiled snails. Also, add a cup of water and let the potatoes cook.
- Once done, add the tamarind extracts and the coconut milk.
- Delicious curry of sea snails (khube) is ready and you can serve this with steamed rice or rice rotis.
Notes
- To remove the snails from the shells - wash them clean and boil them in sufficient water for 15 to 20 minutes. When cool pull out the snails from the shell.
- Add a dash of vinegar after the curry is cooked. This is optional but I like the taste.
