Pat shrimp dry, toss with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp turmeric, rest 5 minutes. Finely chop 1 medium onion and 2 small tomatoes. Mix 3 tsp kashmiri chilli powder, 2 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp cumin, remaining 0.5 tsp turmeric, and 2 tsp tamarind paste with 1/4 cup water into a thick paste.
Bloom
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add 16 curry leaves, let crackle 10 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped onion, cook 6 minutes stirring until soft and lightly golden.
Build
Add 2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste and 2 slit green chillies, cook 1 minute on medium until raw smell fades. Stir in spice paste, cook 3 minutes on medium-low until oil beads at edges and masala darkens.
