Hi Mahi,

shrimps covered in the crispy stuff, that looks so amazing. I bookmarked it, that one needs to be prepared soon. What do you have it with, rice ?

Hi Maheshwari

All who know me, know that I am a die-hard fan of Chemeen!! I actually get emotional about Chemeen, I love it that much. I have had various varieties of it, but I have never seen this toran style.

I will definitely give it a try the next I get the frozen packet (in Delhi you rarely find really fresh one, which is quite unfortunate).

Thanks for the recipe.

I am new on the blog world & please do visit my blog at the link given.
