PRAWN DO PYAZA is a Bengali dry curry made with prawns and a known also as chingri machher kosha ba jhal.
The name do pyaza came as in the re ipe we use the pyaz i.e onions twice one as chopped and second as paste or grated
Soft delectable flesh of the prawns tastes merely divine with subtle sweetness from caramelised onion and with the touch of slit green chillies. In my family this recipe is very in demand specially by my kids,who are quite fussy about foods.
