Prawn And Potato Curry

Many of us like eating prawn curry and adding potatoes to the prawn curry makes the dish more enjoyable to savor with rice or roti. I always fry the prawns little bit before adding them to the curry because frying kills the raw smell of the prawns and makes it tastier. I have also add the potatoes before adding the prawns because I have sauted the raw potatoes with the spices to make the dish yummy. This quite easy recipe does not require any specific skill and can be prepared in less time too. Here under I am sharing my recipe of Prawn And Potato Curry.
