Steamed Prawns / Chingri Bhapa

Image
I took a few days off from blogging , as i was out on a vacation. But now i am back and back with a mouth watering recipe. This happens to be my comfort food. Its very easy to cook and yet delicious. Prawns are my favourite. I generally prepare this recipe with medium and large sized prawns. You can also prepare the same with shrimps. Preparation time : 5mins Cooking time : 45mins Servings : 2 All you need to have is : cleaned and washed prawns / shrimps (500 grams) poppy seeds (2 tablespoon ) mustard seeds ( 2 tablespoon ) turmeric powder (2 pinch ) greenchilli ( 4 ) salt to tast water ( 4 tablespoon ) Grind all the above in a grinder as shown in the pic : The texture of your paste should be like that in the pic. Now coat this paste well on each and every shrimp / prawn as in the pic , arranging them properly in a steel plated bowl with a tight lid to cover it. Before covering , garnish it with 4 more chillies and 1  tablespoon mustard oil...
