Prawn Balchao Goan Pickle- Style Hot

    Just wondering ... why do you cook the prawns first, remove from pan, and then add them back to the pan for the last few minutes? Couldn't you just add them at the end and cook until they were done? Just curious if there's a reason it's done this way.

    Prawn Balchao (Goan Pickle-Style Hot Prawns),This is a fiery, sweet and sour and wonderful dish from Goa. This recipe is partly taken from a friend’s cookbook that she copied for me when I raved about the dish. I find that this dish is best the next day. If you don’t like as much heat, cut down on the peppers and if you don’t like much sour, cut the vinegar in half.,Just wondering … why do you cook the prawns first, remove from pan, and then add them back to the pan for the last few minutes? Couldn’t you just add them at the end and cook until they were done? Just curious if there’s a reason it’s done this way.,This didn’t make it to the next day, but it was fabulous the moment it came from the stove top! I followed the idea to cut down on the chili and vinegar, and we both loved it. Will make this again for sure, and then I’ll try how it is the next day 🙂
