Shrimp or Prawns curry in coconut milk is one the most popular curried around Kerala. It is often made with only Kudampuli(Gambooge) as the souring agent. This version, containing the additional seasonal ingredients – green mangos and cooked jackfruit seeds is one that brings any Keralite to salivate in nostalgic delight.

A very quick curry to prepare. Peeling of the jackfruit seed’s outer coating is the only aspect of this dish, that requires a bit of time. But it’s well worth it.
