Prawn Sukka/Sungtache sukke




Sungat meaning prawn in konkani and sukke meaning dry.This is a dry prawn recipe which does not contain gravy.It's a very simple and fast dish which can be prepared within 15 min.I prepare this kind of prawn whenever I am running out of time and it is always delicious with the spice and tangy flavour..and prawn being our anytime favourite :-)

Method -
Wash and clean the prawns.If the prawns are not small,chop them to small pieces.
Marinate the prawns with salt and turmeric powder for atleast 3-4 hours.
