This is one very common lunch dish at my home.Though I am not a big sea food lover but I love shrimps,prawns and crabs a lot.And I love them when they are well cooked and spicy.
So here I am sharing my Indian style prawn curry recipe with you guys. This is one of the prawn curry recipes though. In upcoming days I will share few more which are very hit on my dining table 😀 and I am sure you will love them.If you like less spicy then just cook them with less chillies.
