    Prawn eggplant curry is an authentic seafood dish from south India and it is made in different styles from different parts of the region and hence the spice level and ingredients vary accordingly. Here we paired prawn with eggplant which naturally has a seafood flavor and can complement the taste of the prawn very nicely. This spicy, juicy, and aroma-filled curry was prepared without coconut and has a unique taste compared to the one prepared with coconut. This curry can be served as a side dish with rice, chapati, roti, idli and dosa for lunch and dinner.
