Chemmen Pollichathu (Kerala Style Foil Baked Prawns Masala)


Now, that was an easy 2 months gap from blogging and a lot happened in this time. We went on a short vacation en-route our yearly visit to home (both parents are still unhappy since they did not get enough of us this time), two of my very good friends got transferred out, I picked up my long lost talent and hobby of sketching/painting and a lot more. Now that I am back to routine, I am back with a bang. 

Chemmen Pollichathu


The weekend that went by was quite eventful; some of the errands that we kept postponing for one reason or the other were finally attended to, followed by a quick shopping spree and climax at inox watching the epic finale of "Hangover"! Now I believe in the theory anything that starts off well ends well too :-) So what lead to this eventful weekend? Well, of course, good food.

With fresh prawns sitting in the refrigerater, I somehow had to free myself from the clutches of "laziness" (which had in fact entangled me for over 2 months) and try out something nice. I have always wanted to try prawns pollichathu, the typical Kerala way and finally, I got hold of a recipe, which I found as both easy and tasty.

In my version of Chemmen Pollichathy (Kerala Style Foil Baked Prawns Masala)  recipe, I have doubled the ingredients and have also used aluminum foil for baking (instead of banana leaf).

I am sharing a few up-close images here.
