Malabar Prawns Masala

Prawns Masala is one of my favourite recipes.This one i learned from my mother-in-law.she cooks really well and here is her recipe.This is the modified version by adding more spice powders.My husband wants me to prepare exactly like how she prepares  but i cannot give 100% perfection.Nobody needs any expertise in cooking prawns. Whatever you do the authentic  flavour of prawns will give a special taste to that dish.This one ,a spicy & tasty dish that goes along with hot steamed rice,chapati.I love it & everyone should try it out.
