Chemmeen /Prawns Ularthiyathu




Chemmeen Ularthiyathu
This recipe is for seafood lovers. It is a no fuss quick recipe for prawns. The recipe will definitely sound simple but there is no compromise to taste. It is spicy and little tart and the flavors are distinctive.The souring agent is kudampuli/gambooge which also imparts a unique flavor to the dish,but if it is not available you can substitute it by adding a teaspoon of vinegar   It is a perfect side dish for rice.

Prawns- 1 lb
Chopped coconut piece- 1/2 cup
Kudampuli/gambooge- 3-4 pieces
Pearl onions chopped- 3/4 cup
Ginger sliced- 1 inch thick

Pepper powder- 1/3 tsp
Fenugreek powder- a pinch
Coriander powder- 1 1/3 tsp
Mustard seeds- a few
