One of the yummiest curry preparations I have tried recently.....Prawns / Jhinga Kalwan!!
I have grown up eating variety of fishes, with lots of fish preparations, varying by region and spice level.
As a fish lover I try to make my food interesting by trying out new fish preparations.
This week I had lots of fish at home....2 lbs of Prawns, 3 big Pomfrets and 2 packs of thinly sliced yummy Kingfish. :) What more a fish lover can ask for??
I thought of making this Maharashtrian Prawns curry and it was super quick and yummy to last bite.It was finger licking good!!! :P
Try this out and enjoy :)
