Prawn Chettinad Curry: Tamil Treat
Weekends are boring without the excitement of cooking a new dish. So, Boldsky brings you this special Chettinad recipe to spice up your weekend. This prawn recipe hailing from Tamil Nadu is called Chettinad prawns. There are many varieties of Indian seafood recipes. Every coastal curry does not taste the same. Chettinad prawn curry is thus very different from any other prawn curry hailing from the coasts of India like Prawn Gussi (Goa) or Malai Curry (Bengal).
Chettinad recipes have a very distinct flavour due to the special masala used in them. The masala for Chettinad prawns includes fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, poppy seeds, pepper and mustard seeds. You probably realise that Chettinad prawn curry is a traditional Tamil prawn recipe that will take some time to prepare. So a weekend is perfect to try this new dish.
