Chingri malai curry is an authentic bengali dish. Bangladesh is known for its seas and oceans. Thus the availability of fish is vast. And chingri maach (prawn) is the bengali favorite. The love for malai curries is also spread over the country. Since coconut trees are easily grown in the country, the use of coconut in many fish dishes is also very popular. Chingri malai curry is a classic bengali dish which is devoured by people of all ages. This recipe uses shell, tail and head less prawn. But one can keep all. Or just the head and just the tail. Prawn malai curry can be served with simple white rice (bhaat), which would taste brilliant. But this undoubtedly goes great with polao. This is a great dish to serve at parties and family gatherings.
