Yeah! :) I somehow feel that large shrimps sort of taste like human flesh - I have no clue how my mind has caught up with that idea, believe me, I havent ever tasted human flesh in my life and do not intend to also! :)

Hi Snigdha! I completely enjoy your Indian style cooking; in fact, it is the spiciness of your dishes I love to savor! But, it seems like the shrimps are a lil too big; i meant, I like even smaller ones and I love then when fried :)
