As long as I can remember, Prawn and Shrimp have been the center of our family’s menu. My father’s side of the family comes from Goa surrounded by beaches so seafood is always the protein of choice. My mom’s side are based in Mumbai, also on the coast and famous for it’s seafood dishes in the coastal areas. No aromatics are spared in this recipe and they are paired beautifully with fresh prawn or shrimp. This dish is not overly spicy and is great sopped up with some rice, roti or naan.
This recipe has become in favorite in my own household, it’s not overly spicy and extremely flavorful. I like the laziness of just roughly chopping everything, throwing it into a pan and grinding it together later.
