I am sure you have already tried making Konkani style dry prawns.

Now its time to make the Goan style "Dry Prawn Kismur" which is a savory accompaniment made from dry prawns, coconut, onion and some spices.

This side-dish is part of every fish meal in Goa.

Easy to make and tastes so delicious!
This side-dish also goes well with only rice and dal or with only Red Rice Konji.


Serves 3
Ingredients:
Dry prawns - cleaned and head removed - 1 cup
Grated coconut - fresh/desiccated - 1/2 cup
Onion - 1- finely chopped
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp

Clean the dry prawns by removing the head, and wash under running water.
