This finger licking good prawn masala is spicy and bold, when hot garlic-butter is poured over, give the curry a fragrant, uplifting flavour.
The fresh catch right from the sea is often sold here in the local market, makes this dish taste amazing. I try to cook them right away and not freeze if possible.
