Chingri Posto ( Prawn in Poppy Sauce).

Its a great recipe with a combination of poppy seeds and prawns.

INGREDIENTS:
Prawns cleaned and washed. (300gms).
Posto / Poppy paste (50 gms).
Salt to taste.
Mustard oil.
Green chillies (4-5).
Red chilli powder (1 tsp).
Turmeric powder (1 tsp).

PROCEDURE:
Apply salt and turmeric to the fresh and cleaned prawns and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan and as the oil gets heated and smoke emits from pan, then fry the prawns till golden brown and set aside. In the same oil add all the prawns and add posto paste to it and add one cup of water,salt as well, allow the prawns and posto paste to boil in that water, it helps the posto to grow and bulge and prawns to get softer, now add green chillies to it and as water gets evaporated and prawns gets cooked stir well continuously, till desired consistency. Add little more oil and stri and off the flame. Serve the prawn posto with hot steamed rice and enjoy its authenticity. Its just awesome.
