Patol er Dorma With Prawns or Prawn Stuffed Pointed Ground

Everyday morning after entering the kitchen we all first think what to cook right, same for me also. I think cooking is not that difficult than thinking. Sometime we have mood to cook something but may be the ingredients are not available or the man might not love that. I have few PATOLS OR POINTED GROUND at home which he doesn’t like that much so I planned to add some PRAWNS to make the dish little different. I made one of my Maa’s special dish PATOL ER DORMA WITH PRAWNS OR PRAWN STUFFED POINTED GROUND. 

This dish is very authentic Bengali dish I have one more PATOL ER DORMA recipe in my blog but that one is a veg recipe so from long time I wanted to cook a non-veg version of PATOL ER DORMA. This one is an easy recipe just the steps are more but with plain rice this dish is truly like heaven.
