Easy Green chilli prawns Recipe is one such lunch you can cook in short time. It tops my list of quick recipes. Damn easy to prepare making lunch/dinner a perfect meal.
The color that comes in the recipe is especially from green chilies and coriander paste. The green texture of the paste looks heavenly wanting you to dive into it as fast as possible.
This dish goes well with chapati, naan , roti, but here I have served black rice(kavuni arasi) to make it more healthie.
Enjoy with your family and see their face shine.
The olden day Chettiar community was a very affluent community and traded all over the world. The community had trade as far flung as Rangoon (Current day Myanmar) to Singapore. They brought back a lot of things from their travels which included exotic ingredients as well. Black rice is a very popular ingredient in South Asia and it must have found its way into the Chettiar households through these routes. The rice has become so customary that its a ritual to serve it in weddings.
Black Glutinous Rice is also sold in the shops as Kavuni Arisi, Karuppu Arisi or Karuppu Puttarisi.
Even though the rice is black in colour, it gets a hue of burgundy after soaking and the colour intensifies after cooking.
