Hi shilpa…. prawn sidedish is just fantastic..
Hi Shilpa.. In goa we add a little grated coconut to this dish.
Hi Shilpa,
I tried the recipe ,it came out very well, but it was not dry as showed in the pic.
I didn’t add any water n followed the step as you have mentioned but the prawns were leaving water while cooking , plz explain why?
Thanks , in advance.
Shilpa: Cook for little longer and water gets absorbed. If you are using frozen shrimp, make sure you bring them to room temperature and squeeze them to remove all water.
Hey
Thanks so much. Will try this. I am sure it will be as delicious as your other recipes.
Hi Shilpa, Love your site & being from Kerala love the recipes that you give.
I would appreciate knowing whether the quantity for shrimp in the recipe “prawn sidedish – Sungta upkari” is for whole shrimp or whether it is measured after shelling & cleaning. If it is 1 1/2 cups of whole shrimp with the shell then of course the quantity will be much less after shelling & cleaning. Hope you wont mind clarifying this point.
Thanks for the wonderful & quick recipes that you take so much of trouble & hard work to post along with the photos which naturally make it much easier to recreate.
Wish you all success always. Zeenath Rahim, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Shilpa: Cleaned shrimp.
Hi Shilpa,
I tried your recipe was yummy.I made a few modifications in it the second time.
I skipped the tomatoes and added kokam to it. Turned out good…Cheers
