Soongta Hooman

Of all the prawn, or for that matter, fish curries that make up the immensely rich repertoire of Goan seafood cuisine, there’s perhaps none more popular, familiar or ubiquitous as the traditional prawn curry with the bright orange coloured gravy, subtle aroma and medium heat that’s a staple in every Goan household, and served in restaurants as ‘Goan Prawn Curry’. This Soongta (prawn) Hooman (curry) masala, a much loved classic from the Hindu community of Goa, though perfect for the mild, sweet flavor of prawns, does compliment all kinds of river or sea fish as well.
