Shrimp Or Prawn Cutlets - Goan Style Dangar
Shrimp cutlets are an old childhood favourite. Both my grandmothers made them, one was hard core Goan and the other East Indian. Both strong women and amazing cooks. May they both rest in peace. Many times these cutlets are made from a combination of ground shrimp and small baby fresh shrimp. Unfortunately, I have only been able to find cooked baby shrimp so in this recipe I opted to cut my shrimp into pieces.
