Nothing can taste better than prawns grilled in a tandoor and served with chutneys!!

Lehsuni Malai Prawns, is a simple and easy to prepare dish with yummy flavors. Marinated for sometime in cream and garlic with some spices, the prawns gain a unique flavor and aroma when cooked. The look of the lehsuni malai prawns is appealing and I bet any non-veg lover is bound to love this. The flavors are smooth and crunchy at the tails which can be savored too. I prefer to serve the yummy lehsuni malai prawns with coriander chutney.
