oh yes Shanti...there is a chance of meeting up in India...I think smaller tiger prawns are a good option because I used the same...And it cooks faster as we are not adding any water to this curry...

That would be such fun Sarita, but I hve a feeling we have more of a chance of meeting up in India as I never get to Wisconsin-too cold for my California blood. I m going to try this recipe this weekend. I have some lovely fresh water shrimp rom India in the freezer, but they are quite large. Do you think smaller Tiger prawns would be better for this recipe?
