PRAWN BALCHAO

After checking the net for prawn recipes, I was attracted to this Prawn Balchao since it has unique name and something I never heard before. This is a classic Goan recipe using dry chili and vinegar as its ingredients. They can be served as appetizer or a side dish with plain boiled rice or mildly spiced pulao. Since it contains vinegar, it will stay well in the fridge for up to a week.

My family really love this spicy and tangy dish, it is best suited for spicy food lovers.
