Chemmeen Muringakka Prawn Drumstick curry

Days over here are a bit not so cold with lovely sun shining with cold breeze flowing. I love sitting and enjoy the sun in conservatory escaping the cold breeze. Last few weekends me n hubby are frequently going to garden shops, rock shops for summer flowering plants and rocks for our garden and i really enjoy these days of shopping for house. Last year we had a huge collection of summer flowers but this time we are planning for some evergreen plants and few flowering plants, lets see how this plan workout.

  2. Such a classic recipe to choose! Everybody adores this combination in Malabar, though personally I have never made it since I am allergic to prawns... We have some liquid in the curry, but for chapathis, your consistency works best... Lovely click...
