About This Recipe
My friend sent me some fresh water prawns the other day and also shared a lovely recipe of prawn curry. It was pretty quick to prepare and it turned out amazingly good with well balanced flavors – redolent with the sweetness of coconut and subtly spiced. Curry leaves, khus-khus and coconut form the essence of this pasty textured prawn curry (almost like a stir fry dish).
Definitely a keeper and one I would serve for a dinner party. Goes great with hot white rice of rotis.
