#WM1 #jhingamasalaThe word malaikari is basically broken down to ‘malai’ and ‘curry’. And ‘malai’ has got nothing to do with cream (which many think could be the reason, because of the creamy texture). “Malai’ comes from ‘ Malay’ or Malaysia. Chingri malaikari is a loved dish of most Bengalis. It is almost a mandatory dish in a wedding or any other celebration. Chingri malaikari can be made with tiger prawns or any other large prawns.
