Chemmeen-Vellarikka-Muringa-Manga curry


My neighbour aunty used to say that prawns prepared with Vellarikka, muringa and Manga tasted excellent but I never tried it till I saw Sareetha Sugunan post in a Food page in which she had tried  Chemmeen-Muringa curry.  Seeing her post I got very much tempted then I decided to prepare the curry with neighbour aunty’s guidance.  This is my Republic Day special Recipe.  Its really very tasty curry.
