About Me

I love to cook and more importantly, I like to improve the way I cook certain dishes. As such, this blog is borne out of a desire for a simple and organized way to manage the different variations of the dish that I tried. I will be posting recipes, pictures and comments on what works for me and what don’t. Hopefully, you will enjoy your time here, and do remember to give your feedback! Cooking is a constant evolution, a process and definitely not an end result!

Tips and Comments:
  • Is best to keep the prawns head as the essence of the prawns is in the prawn head.
  • Fry prawns 1st to force out the sweetness of the prawns. Do not discard the oil after frying, as it will make a good gravy. Hence, is recommended to use Olive Oil for healthier reason.
