Konju Pappas/ Prawns cooked in Coconut milk!


Hello all,

Today I made something simple and delicious dish using Prawns. It's Konju Pappas (Prawns cooked in Coconut milk). The recipe video will be on my IGTV soon. In most of the Kerala style fish recipes, we add a bit of Fenugreek/Methi/Uluva which enhances the curry taste. In this recipe, you can add sliced tomatoes before adding coconut milk. I used Kudam puli instead of tomato for the sour factor. The Kudampuli taste in fish curry is so amazing. This same Pappas recipe can be used for making Pomfret, Pearl spot, or Seer fish. This curry will go well with rice, chapati, appam, or idiyappam.
