Prawn Baffad
The other day while I was scanning through a lifestyle magazine I came across the name Prawn Baffad. The name itself sounds from outer space. A quick search and my thoughts were transferred to this coastal Indian city of Goa. You guessed it right!!! Its a Goan dish. Goa is famous,amongother things, for its beaches and seafood. I am sure this dish will make you too a fan of Goan seafood.
