BHAPPA CHINGRI (PRAWN COOKED IN COCONUT) IN MICROWAVE OVEN


This recipe was shared by my sweet Mom (in-Law) over phone when for the first time I came down to US two years back. One night, me & my husband Ritesh thought of trying some authentic Bengali food for dinner, right at our home without wasting much time over cooking and here comes my Mom (in-law)'s delicious recipe Bhappa Chingri ..... believe me it just takes 15-20 mins (preparation + cooking ) and its just so yummy.

My mom (In-Law) is the super mom and the best cook ! Here sharing her recipe with you all...




Ingredients
  • 250 gm of cleaned prawns
  • 1 big onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut ( I used the freeze packed which is easily available in any store)
  • 2 tsp mustard oil
  • 4-5 green chili, slit from middle
  • salt to taste
The cooking
  • Take the cleaned washed prawns in a big microwaveable bowl 
  • Put the chopped onion, slit chili, mustard oil and salt in the same bowl and mix well with the prawn.
  • Then placed the bowl in the microwave oven on microwave high for 8-10 mins, till the prawns get little hard. 
  • Enjoy the dish with warm white rice
