Prawns has always been
a favourite among both of us and the good thing is whenever I have made a dish
with prawns, it turns out well. Reju as you know is not a very
"Fishy" person but he loves prawns and this dish is now one of the
most sought after items at home!
You know I always
wonder how the famous saying "Stomach is the way to a man's heart" is
so true! Good food definitely is one of those things that makes them happy.
Anyway getting back to
the recipe, this dish is definitely one that will be licked clean off the
plate. My heart warms over just talking about it. We loved it, hope you enjoy
it too.
Serve with Rice or
Chapathi.
