hi mullai… tried this dish last week.. it was sooooo awesome.. keep going..
Thanks Mullai for the recipe. I tried this last evening, it came out real good and my family thoroughly enjoyed it.
The only variation I did was, grind half the amount of shrimp and cut the rest into small pieces so that my fussy 5 yr old could see it, feel the chunky pieces and eat it.
Thanks again.
