Prawns Masala

PRAWNS MASALA
HI,
Prawns .. Which non vegetarian can say NO to this????Being a strict non veggie I was not able to resist the taste and was craving to have prawns for quite sometime. We get fresh prawns only in the fish stores or fish market here.And again an Unfortunate thing which only happens to me when ever I feel like eating something good... None of the fish stores are nearby.. So I had to buy the frozen Pink, small cleaned prawns from a super market. Just was wondering what to prepare with prawns and thats when I decided to make chappathi for dinner and as a side dish for lunch and dinner.. prepared this recipe.. Spicy, awesome prawns masala...........
Here we go!!!!!!
