PRAWN CUTLETS
Prawn whose other name is shrimp is really a tasty food. It is generally a seafood but fresh water ones are also available . It is very widely available but bit costly too. But the taste is overpowering the cost of the product . I love prawn and so do my family .
I went to fish market to bring prawn for lunch. I got variety of prawns. I purchased big one for gravy . But a small variety dragged my attention . I thought of why not purchase these prawns and make a cutlet out of these.
When I was a kid my mom used to say about a prawn cutlet dish (though she is pure vegetarian), which my granny used to cook for special occasions . I always fascinated by this dish and wanted to cook . When I saw small variety of prawns in the market I couldn't able to control my temptation for the dish .
I made this dish as per my granny's recipe after asking my mom. My granny is no more but she is always in my heart. This particular recipe and dish is dedicated to my sweetest granny.
