This is a really lovely dish of sweet and sour prawns. I love how easy it is to cook the dish, something that can be easily accomplished within a short span of 15min after I reach home from a day of work. The prawns are juicy and delicious eaten together with the gravy; the gravy goes so well with plain rice.
I also love how this dish has both proteins and vegetables served together on the same plate. It is the perfect excuse for me not to have to cook a second or third dish. The only down factor is that prawns are expensive after all, so I probably can’t be cooking this dish too often too.
