21:05 Unknown 0 Comments

Prawns prawns prawns! I love love love prawns, its my number 1 fish to eat! Ever since I was little its all I would want. I was always so eager to learn how to make a proper desi prawn curry and I would always stand watching my mum make this, and if it wasn't my mum then my grandma and if not my grandma then my auntie! I just loved the smell and the masala cooking, it just made me so happy! I have to admit; I am prawn obsessed. The one thing that was always my worry with this is if it would ever turn out as good as my food sensei, LOL, and with a bit of determination it did. It took me a lot of courage to post this up but I hope you guys love it. Thank you mum, nani and my Aysha kala for helping me master this I hope I continue to do this recipe justice.
