Description
Prawn Pie. this was one among the dishes i prepared for the cooking competition. This prawn pie is stupendofentabulous tasting pie. I have to confess about the recipe i took note of from a blog called mallu kitchen.Awesome blog with simple recipes and remedies about cooking and baking. My main inspiration to start my blog was mallu kitchen and admin of mallu kitchen Reshma Nooh. It was this blog and her who opened my vision that you could entertain and share your passion of cooking to all.Even for my cooking classes i do get tips from her . Did let her know that her prawn pie was one among the winning dishes. She messaged back saying its her co-sister lailas recipe and will let her know about the winning dish. Just can’t wait to meet my inspiration and role model who has motivated me to follow my passion of cooking. Her humbleness in Sharing her recipes did ring a bell in me also to do the same.
