This was absolutely amazing. I had 3 other people try it and they were impressed! I had to substitute a few things because I couldn't find coriander or turmeric. Also, I didn't have the ability to make garam masala. I used the following quantities and it was amazingly delicious (AND EASY!!!): 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 large onion, chopped 1/2 TB to 1 TB curry powder 1/2 TB ginger powder 1 TB minced garlic 2/3 TS salt 1 tomato, finely chopped 1 TS chili powder 2 lbs medium shrimp, peeled and deveined 1/4 cup water 1 TS cumin
