Simple Prawn / Shrimp curry

Its paying off... Our perseverance to make V sit on the table and eat by himself is finally working. If he's full, he's full – that's something we have learnt. We don't force him to eat if he says he's full. All of us are getting there. I am soooooooo happy.

Coming to today's post, I have always loved prawns. Once I started cooking, I felt these are life savers when I was crunched for time or had anyone visiting all of a sudden. I always have a bag of frozen Prawns in my freezer.

Prawn Pulao is my all time saviour dish. Its a one pot dish that gets done in a jiffy and tastes amazing. Yes... I know I shouldn't be praising my own dishes but it does taste amazing for our taste buds.

The Prawn / Shrimp curry I am posting about today is very simple that can be made with the ingredients in your pantry & fridge. It also requires a minimum prep work. I make this when I couldn't be bothered to make elaborate / time consuming non-veg dish - which is quiet often.
