Tindora - Prawns with Coconut and Spices


             
Getting pretty hectic for sometime is totally keeping me away from my blog, still i try a sneak peak on to whats happening with my blog these days. Yes friends, i am totally getting exhausted at times but still i am enjoying each and every little thing happening around me, and i am so much waiting to share a lot of things with you all, just waiting for me to get back and settled, and i'm sure its going to happen pretty soon too.



So today , its just a simple recipe with Veggies and Seafood combo!! Tindora is my dad's ever favourite veggie, and i still remember him buying loads of them, but even though its bought in huge quantities he has a limit to it too, and explains us kids about the goodness of it.
I saw this recipe in our fortnightly regional language magazine a while ago , and thought of sharing it with you all.
We three loved it with steaming hot rice in the afternoon, and for night with rotis. And i must say , it went well with both rice and rotis.
