This recipe is one variation to Indian Shrimp Curry. As there are many languages in India, there are different styles of cooking. This recipe was handed down to me from my Aunt and I have modified it to add my twist to it. It is simple and easy to make as long as you have the right ingredients, which could be found in most Indian grocery stores or specialty grocery stores. —Instructor Mat
