Era Thokku / Prawn Thokku / Shrimp Thokku


Era thokku /Prawn thokku is my favourite since I tasted this in my friend's home during my school days...Her mom is an expert in non veg dishes(in veg too..)..I saw this recipe here and tried and it came out sooo good...We all liked it a lot....Goes well with rice as side dish...also with pulavs and chapathis....Spicy and tangy era thokku is easy to prepare too...Here's the recipe...
