Not sure that I have had this. Are prawns a major part of your diet?

Indeed. Prawns can be part of any dish. It's like non-veg potato that everyone likes and can go with almost every meal. My wife loves dry prawns. In my city it's quite rare but I know Bengali people have sea food a lot because it's very cheap and available in abundance. I have heard you also make non-veg bhogs for Goddess Durga.
