Method

• Wash and clean the prawns using lemon juice and salt.(lemon takes away the bad odour, I usually apply this and keep aside for 15minutes).Wash it thoroughly under running water and keep aside.

• Add the shrimp to it.
• Cook covered for 10 minutes with a half cup water.
• Dry up the masala mix and Serve hot!!

NOTES
* You can replace the fish tamarind with the other tamarind .
