Typical mangalorean dry prawn chutney, served as an accompaniment at any main meal. Delicious with simple dal rice or with pez!

• Ingredients
• 1 cup dry prawns, cleaned with head, tail and legs removed
• 2 cups fresh grated coconut
• 4 green chillies
• 4 flakes garlic (reduce to taste)
• 1/2 ” pc. ginger
• 4 tpo 5 sprigs coriander leaves
• 1 small lemon sized ball tamarind
• 1 small onion

Roast the dry prawns on a heated pan on medium low flame till aromatic and crisp. Leave aside to cool.

Grind the chutney ingredients to a coarse almost dry paste, I like to add 2 tbsp. of the prawns to the grinder alongwith the chutney ingredients. Otherwise prawns are not be be ground. Mix prawns with the chutney wiht your hands, squeezing and crushing the prawns somewhat. Serve as an accompaniment with any main meal. Excellent with a simple meal of dal rice or with pez!!
