    Hi Aarthi,
    My uncle was undergoing chemotherapy in hospital and was really sick of the terribly bland hospital food he was being subjected to. He came home today and asked if i could make him a prawn curry. Your recipe showed up in a google search and since it didnt involve coconut milk(which i dont have), i decided to go for it. I have never made prawn curry before and i just followed your recipe step by step. It came out absolutely fantastic! My uncle really liked it and i still cant believe that I made this with my own hands!! thanks for this fantastic recipe!

    Cheers.
