ABOUT Chingri Maacher Bati Chorchori RECIPE

It is my grandmother's recipe and was passed on to my mother and now me. A very simple dish but yet so flavoursome.

200 gms deshelled medium size prawns
2 medium potatoes diced
1 chopped onion
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Chilli powder 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Mustard oil 1 tbsp and some more for drizzling
Few green chillies for garnish

Instructions

Heat mustard oil in a pan and smoke it. Then lower the flame and add the diced potatoes and onions together. Add salt , turmeric and red chilli powder.
Saute it for a minute or two. Then cover and cook till the potatoes are 3/4 done.
Now add the prawns and saute till they change colour. Add a cup of warm water to form the gravy. Let it cook for sometime. The potatoes should be fully cooked by now.
Adjust the seasonings and serve with hot rice. Before serving drizzle some raw mustard oil on the prawns.
