Taste of this Prawn malai curry came out delicious, neither too spicy nor too sweet.

Have learnt this recipe from my mother.

I saw it described somewhere as an "Elegant Bengali Classic" - that definitely sums up this dish.

It is so delicious that I want to run down and have my dinner right now instead of writing this up.
