Prawns stuffed Pomfret Pan fry

Prawns Stuffed Pomfret Pan Fry

A childhood personal favourite.An absoulute devine feeling is to experience with Prawns stuffed Pomfret. Prawns are always welcome always, infact there have been funny instance where I fought with my dad and hubby over the number of prawns I got to eat when we went out for lunch for the first time after my marriage, so with this , no more fights....;). Also, my husband asking me to make this prawn stuffed pomfet fry atleast once every 15 -20 days when ever white pomfrets are available.

My Sons too loves this and  both of them manage to share one. The Best part about this is that they love to eat it with Curd rice/Laban rice and still polish off the plates , making me wonder was anything ever served on the plate at all n where did the fish bone come from !!!... ,

Infact , This is also very nice eat along with a drink as per few friends(not that i drink ... ), Well, one more thing is this devine tasting recepie is very expensive if you consider eating it from hotels.So, do try it out in your own kitchen.
