Curry Prawns

If you like seafood curry, I would like to suggest that you consider trying out this great Curry Prawns. With lots of vegetables as well, it makes a fantastic one pot dish to go with steamed rice. I’m using a ready packed curry powder mixture here. As usual, you can omit the chili powder for a milder curry. Note that I like to pan fry the eggplants first before adding it to the curry; but, this is an option. Happy eating..
