Description
Any thing prepared at home in prawns is a favourite to all except for my daughter ANISHA . ( as mentioned before a pure Vegetarian in a Muslim household ????? ) I remember the small prawns that my grand ma ( moms mom Sabiya perima , Payya as we address her now ) used to make fried in coconut oil during my holidays in Palghat . I miss every bit of those holidays and my grand father . ( he is no more , the best grand father anyone would dream to have , miss you periyatha ) he used to wake up all cousins early in the morning , dump us in his ambassador Car (would stop in between and we cousins had to push the car from behind ) and go to the market . What ever we wanted was bought and prepared on that day itself from chicken , mutton , fish , prawn the list would go on and on . Wonder how my grand mom cooked and catered to all our needs , we were a huge gang of people in all age groups .
