Misa Masor Bota ( Ground Prawns)

So since I do not have pictures and people did not tell me what to do.. here I go with a few quicks.

Ingredients:

1. Tiny prawns, the ones you do not know how to eat :). -- Say 250 gms
2. Oil - 2 spoon veg and few drops of mustard oil.
3. Onions - 1 small finely chopped.
4. 2 cloves of garlic and 2 green chillies.
5. Salt to taste
6. Green Coriander.

Method:

Wash the prawns and make sure they are extremely clean.
Heat a wok and put the veg oil into it. Put the prawns shell and all. Keep stirring till they become almost red in color. Take it off the heat.

Mix the prawn and rest everything and grind into a fine paste. Yummy with any deal and sabji and steam rice.

NOTE: add any fish you want, the requirement is for them to be super tiny.
