  6. Hi Seena..
    I prepared this for dinner and it was amazing! What a taste, perfect blend of hot n sour with the good old chemmeen.. hmm taste still lingers in my mouth, we had a competion as who is going to get more share!...
    I dont use vinegar, so added lemon juice. One thing was, it took sometime for the prawns to get cooked, what may be the reason?
    Thank you so much Seena, with a perfect dinner, I feel so releived!

  7. Prawns takes very less time to be cooked..May be the type of fish is a reason.

  10. Seena,
    Tried the prawns roast and it came out really well. Now that I am in my early pregnancy I can tolerate very few tastes and smell. When I was preparing this dish the smell of ginger-garlic paste etc was a bit strong and I was abt sure that I wouldnt able to even taste it. But to my surprise I absolutely lovvvvved this dish and was licking my fingers even after I was done. Now I am going to make the next set tonight. Thanks so much and I really appreciate this post.

    Rgds,
    Swapna.
