Chingri Malaikari

This types of 'No Onion No Garlic' dishes are cooked during some Bengali Occassions, where Onion & Garlic are prohibited, like Aiburo Bhat, Poite etcs. This dish was cooked in my 'Aiburo Bhat'(last lunch in maiden home before marraige). Today I'm sharing this recipe with you all to enjoy this version of 'Malaikari'.

I think Bengalis don't need any introductions for the authentic Bengali recipe 'Chingrir Malaikari'. Even many Non Bengalis are also aware of 'Chingrir Malaikari'. But still I'll give you little informations about this dish for those who does not know about the recipe. Jumbo Prawns are cooked in creamy Coconut gravy, without onion, garlic & tomatoes. This curry is very arometic but mild in taste. This dish should serve with Plain Steamed Rice. This recipe I'm sharing for Bengalis' biggest festival 'Durga Puja'.
