PRAWN MASALA

prawn masala

It is a curry dish goes well with any kind of main dish.prawn is a common name and it is  called as shrimp.prawn is a very delicious meat and people love it.This is my version of cooking prawns.

            Many of people don't know how to clean the prawns.Usually cleaned prawns in markets, wont remove vein on the back of prawn.Have to hold it straight and make a slit on top to bottom.there will be a black thread like vein there, remove it carefully and clean with fresh water.If used without removing the vein it may ruin the dish.
