Prawns Gravy

I love the taste of prawns. It is always a finger licking food. This is a simple and a flavourful gravy where we have used the freshly roasted spices. Definitely the food tastes awesome when we use the freshly roasted spice. This is a gravy kind of dish. So it goes well with rice. You can also have it with idiyappam or appam .
