A new post for all Sea food lovers...Goan Prawns Balchao!!
This dish is my favorite Prawns gravy dish. I love the aroma of this gravy and it tastes awesome with Roti/ Rice/ Pav/Bread.
I used to make this dish quite often but recently I had totally forgotten about this dish.When I was going through my recipe journal,I found my long lost recipe and it reminded me of is forgotten gravy.
I always stock Prawns in my freezer,they serve as my rescue fish 😁 Rescue fish in the sense, when I run out of fish and chicken, then these Prawns come to my rescue.
I always stock fresh Prawns every 10 days. If you clean and de vein the Prawns and freeze them then when you use them next time ,first thaw them and wash them thoroughly,they are as fresh as ever.
I make sure I consume Prawns within 10 days maximum,although if you search online,many posts you can find saying that its safe to freeze the Prawns for Max 6 months.
