Prawns being everybody's favourite is always a good side dish for a simple daal chawal. Todays recipe is quite different from the regular prawns recipe as it's a fusion of India and Chinese flavours. I have used prawns with thier shells intact only head removed as its difficult to clean but if you dont like to cook with thier shells on then you can also try with fully cleaned prawns. Do try this spicy recipe with your simple meals and enjoy .
