Shrimp (Prawn) Tapioca Curry

I am a big fan of shrimp dishes. Whenever my mom cooked some prawn curry we loved to have and had fight with me, shanu and sis about that who is going to get more pieces.

When we started to cook frozen prawn I didn't like it. Then we switched to buy fresh shrimp. That’s really very nice yar…

This recipe is a simple and easy dish. I’m sure this should be one of the mouth licking dishes…

And this goes well with steamed rice, pulav, biryani, naan, chapatti, parota, idli, dosa…
