My review
Authentic and Easy Shrimp Curry
8
RK
"This is a home-style South Indian shrimp curry recipe from my husband's family. It is simple and quick to make. It contains no coconut so is not sweet, just mostly juicy and as hot as you like it. Serve with basmati rice or an Indian flatbread."

I thought it was just O.K. I did not like the combination of spices that were used.
