We prepare different variations of Goan prawn curry. One such variation is Goan prawn curry with hog plum or “ambade”. In Konkani, hog plums are known as ambade which have a sweet and sour taste depending on the ripeness. This hog plum curry with prawn is made in a mildly spiced coconut-based curry. Goan prawn and coconut curry with hog plum tastes spicy and tangy.

Goan prawn curry with hog plum

Rice and fish curry are the staple food of most of the Goans. We prepare fish curry in different ways. Sometimes we add vegetables like lady finger like as in Goan prawn curry with bhindi or we add radish as in Goan prawn curry with radish. We like our prawn curry bit spicy and tangy. So, we also add seasonal delicacies like raw mango, bilimbi, star fruit or hog plums.
