Life begins in a woman's womb & it is in her guiding hands & tender care that it finds expression. My recipe is dedicated to my mother for whom I have seen the light of this world. She taught me to cook my all time favourite dish (Daab Chingri). I also find this recipe special & perfect to celebrate womanhood as here the shrimps are slowly cooked in a rich sauce inside a whole coconut which renders its most tender,buttery texture.

In a mixing jar take the mustard seeds,salt,green chillies, coconut flesh& 1/2cup coconut water & make a fine paste.

Put the prawns & masala inside the coconut till 3/4th of them. Cover & seal the top with the flour dough.
