Happy 100th Post with Pepper Coconut Prawns


Yes, Reached my  100th post...I can't believe ....Last day while composing my fish mappas recipe I've just noticed that next is my 100th one. There are many dishes in my drafts, but without any doubt I picked this pepper coconut prawns as this milestone. Yes, we both are madly in love with pepper and especially Kerala Delicacies.Then how can we resist ??? U all know I think this matter of fact because most of my dishes are based on pepper,coconut etc..etc..Is there any repetition???????
I am thankful to all my blog readers, facebook supporters for reaching such a milestone within a short span of time)..And a big thank you to my hubby and son for giving me time to take the snaps before having every dishes..............
Thank you all!!!!!!!You are the best.
