Hi.. I am from Kolkata and I love this recipe... It's too testy

[halderarmando]

This is one of those dishes where every Bengali family has there own version of it. But this is the first time I heard about curd being added to Malai Curry. We usually use grated coconut n thin coconut milk in this! But glad you shared this!

Here is a bonus tip from a bengali woman..." save some oil in which u fried the prawns & drizzle it on top at the end or when u'll serve.. it brings a extra aromatic touch in ur dish."
