When I tried this recipe first, it turned out to be the yummiest curry recipe. Although, there are many versions of prawn curry like Malabari, Kerla style, Malvani.

It is a tangy spicy curry made using shrimps, a variety of spices, and coconut milk. This lip smacking prawn curry is a staple in every Goan household. Goes best with plain rice and a side of papad or pickle. It is a must try dish from coastal land.
