Prawns and Mango in coconut gravy (Chemmenum Maangayum)

Tweet

After the sweltering heat over the first half of this week, we are enjoying some cool weather in Chicago land. Today it’s cloudy, and murky outside, but a great weather to have prawns in coconut gravy with piping hot rice. Yum! My heart warms over just talking about it. I made some of this curry yesterday, and you can find the recipe below.

My sister-in-law had her first baby, and we are enjoying this new born in the family. Also, a very dear friend had her baby recently which makes double the fun. I am enjoying listening to the gushing new mothers gush and thrill at the wonderment of new life. Joyful!

I am also getting ready for another move in the near future. Soon, packing and other travel nuisances shall take over my life. Until then I continue to enjoy all your news on facebook and pretty photographs as usual. I hope you will enjoy this curry I have for you today. Have a pleasant weekend my blogger friends.
