Tomato Prawn Curry
Last Sunday I visited the ukkadam fish market. Prawns was good and little bigger. I bought 2 kgs. When I reached home I got a call about my friend's visit to invite us for her wedding. She was coming all the way from Cochin for visiting us. So I was thinking what to make for lunch. She was on a no-rice diet to maintain her weight for her wedding.
Keeping her in mind I made this as it goes well with steaming hot rice and puffy phulka as well. The lunch menu was rice, phulka, salad, tomato prawn curry, curd rice and gulab jamun. After lunch, she wanted the recipe very badly! So this is specially for you Ree...
