Chemeen Pachakaya Varutharacha Curry Recipe
Chemeen Pachakaya Varutharacha Curry Recipe is a Kerala style fish curry which brings a homely and nostalgic feeling. Chemeen(prawns) is a favorite seafood of every one. Usually every housewives have their own way of preparing chemeen curry. Chemeen Curry can be prepared with chemeen alone or by adding any other vegetables with chemeen which will give a nice and splendid flavor to the dish.
Here I am adding pachakkaya(raw plantain) with chemeen which adds a splendid taste. The shredded or grated coconut is slightly roasted with onions, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chilly powder and made into paste. The prawns and raw banana cooked in this mixture and kudampuli (gambooge) spreads a tempting aroma. I prefer to cook seafoods in manchatti(earthen vessel) which will enhance the taste.
