PRAWN BALCHAO (GOAN PICKLE-STYLE HOT PRAWNS)
This is a fiery, sweet and sour and wonderful dish from Goa. This recipe is partly taken from a friend's cookbook that she copied for me when I raved about the dish. I find that this dish is best the next day. If you don't like as much heat, cut down on the peppers and if you don't like much sour, cut the vinegar in half.

- Grind the ginger, garlic and roasted spices into a smooth paste using the vinegar.
- Heat the oil on a medium flame in a wok-style pan to medium-high heat.

- Now add the spice-vinegar paste, sugar and salt to taste and fry till the oil begins to separate.
- Add the prawns to this sauce, mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Serve with plain boiled rice and/or naan.
