This is one of my favorite curries to eat with rice, it will be a fully satisfied meal. When I was growing up, we used to have this very often, but now we have it occasionally. It is favorite for one of my daughters too. If you have this curry, you don’t have to worry about any other side dishes for rice. It is very tasty, if you like seafood, give it a try, you will definitely like it.
