Steps

40 minutes.

1

Soak the mustard seeds overnight in water.
2

Next day, when you have to make, strain the mustard seeds & grind it along with grated coconut, 2 green chillies, 1Tbsp turmeric powder, salt as required, 1Tbsp mustard oil, add half cup water & make a smooth paste.
3

This paste is the magic of our dish...it will look like
4

Now take utensil/ plate in which you will steam the prawns. Now mix 3Tbsp curd in this paste....you will see the colour of our mix is a bit light now
5

Add the cleaned prawns in this paste & mix properly...so that our prawns are well coated with the paste.
6

Prepare the steamer / utensil in which you will steam cook the prawns. Pour 4-5 cups water & let it come to a boil, then place the plate / container with prawn mix onto it.
7

Drizzle 1tbsp of mustard oil & chopped green chillies on the top & steam the prawns for 25-30 minutes on low- medium flame.
8

We are not going to keep our Bhapa chingri alone.so let's make what goes very well with it!
9

Clean, wash half cup (or as required) rice,and add water(double the quantity of rice). Here I am adding 2 cups of water, add 1tsp lemon juice & let it cook for 15-20 minutes.
10

Check the prawns after 25 minutes...it should be orange-whitish in colour...if not then cook for 15 more minutes.
11

Serve it hot with steamed rice & enjoy the richness of healthy ingredients cooked in an healthy way!
12

If time is less...then just soak the mustard seeds for 15 min in hot water & you are good to go! Enjoy making Bhapa Chingri..And have a meal!
