Prawn Kokum Curry

Prawn Kokum curry 

This is one of the tastiest curries loved and appreciated by my family members. 

This curry has a unique flavour & taste which makes this curry so special. 

Here we use soaked dry kokum rinds which gives awesome colour & taste to this curry. This curry is a mixture of spicy, sour  taste with creamy coconut flavour.  

This curry doesn't need any masala paste. Here we use only coconut paste & few masala powders. Hence it can be prepared quickly and easily with very few basic spices. 

My family loves this flavourful curry with boiled rice. This curry goes very well with neer dosa, sanna, dosa or chapati. 

Try this easy recipe & relish this unique flavoured prawn curry. 

Please note:

Use masala powders as per your choice. 

Instead of the masala powders mentioned in the recipe, you can use only bafat powder  for this gravy.
