One of the must-do items during our trip home (Kerala) was to try out as many seafood dishes as possible. Though the list was exhaustive, we did manage to strike off quite a few from it. Topmost on the list was Prawn Cutlets aka Chemmeen Vada, an all time favourite of ours. No matter how much we have, we still yearn for more…. My Mom is well aware of this and prepares it in advance. Needless to say, this is my Mom’s recipe.
