Notes

Shallow fry the prawns

Keyword curried prawns, prawn curry

This curried prawn recipe is so simple to cook. I think it was harder shelling the green prawns that the actual cooking. Great to have with home made paratha bread and try keeping some for the next day. The leftovers always taste better.
