    Prawn Masala

    May 5, 2016 By Anlet Prince Leave a Comment

    Prawn masala is a simple dish packed with lot of flavors. I have prepared this recipe as a dry version so that it can be served as a starter. This recipe can also be made as a semi dry gravy and served with Roti and Chapatti. The same recipe can be prepared with chicken or mutton or egg. Vegetarian version of this recipe can be prepared using Potatoes or mushrooms.
