Chatpata Prawn pataka

Today is Prawn special in my blog.I had prepared this pataka sometime back and the recipe is very tasty.I adapted this recipe from my dear friend Aparna s blog.This dish is indeed a pataka. Pataka actually  means fire cracker in Hindi but here in this recipe it signifies that, the recipe is damn good.Its a general saying in Hindi or may be a slang….. Chatpata means hot and sour flavour. There are few dishes which we would want to  try again and again and this is one of them.When it comes to seafood nobody can stop me from eating and cooking, lol. Well I can cook it any hour of the day if I want to.Got some prawns in the refrigerator,will be preparing it soon.
