Dried Prawn chutney

Sukkil(dried) sungta(shrimp) kismuri (chutney) in konkani is one of the most popular seafood preparation in coastal regions in Karnataka. This dish does not involve any kind of cooking (roasting of dried shrimp hardly takes any time), so it can be prepared in no time. Here grated coconut is not added. As even roasted coconut makes a great delicacy. 
I always crave for dried prawns, just love it along rice kanji/rice & sambar combination/curd rice. And best it goes during rainy season, as mostly the Mangaloreans stored few heaps of dried sea food in their kitchen shelf, at the alarm of rains :P 

Dried prawns (cleaned & washed well 3-4 times in warm water), 2 fine chopped green chillies, 2 fine chopped onions.
  • Fry the onions to golden brown, add the green chillies & saute for 2 mins.
  • Now add the dried prawns, salt to taste and fry well for 3-5 mins.
  • Serve along rice with any curry combination. Goes well kanji/curd rice.
