Pinoy Prawn Curry

Pinoy Prawn Curry
Pinoy Prawn Curry. The Pinoy version of a curry dish is not as intense as the real curry in terms of hotness or spiciness. The Pinoy curry uses only the pre-mixed yellow curry powder in comparison to the South Asian and the Middle Eastern curry based dishes where the curry spices are made from scratch. Our curry dishes has a slight curry taste, it is sweet and uses a lot of coconut milk. I have made some Pinoy curry dishes which are basically all similar in terms of use of curry and method of cooking, just click the link list below to check out the recipes.
