Spinach with prawns curry

Any vegetable cooked with pinch of turmeric,green chillies, ginger,garlic and salt imparts a special flavour.

In my granny's place, in ernakulam, every vegetable is combined with prawns,mixed with crushed red chillies,ginger garlic paste,turmeric powder and freshly plucked curry leaves in an earthern pot and cooked in coconut oil.It has an unique flavour.

If you dislike any vegetable, combining with prawns, elevates the taste of the dish (provided you like prawns).Vegetables like potatoes,drumstick,country beans,pumpkin etc are used normally.
