Few dishes truly show the soul of Karnataka food like Prawn Curry, also known as ‘Sungta Ambat.’ This curry has a perfect mix of spicy, tangy, and coconut flavors that remind you of the coastal kitchens of Karnataka. Its bright color and rich aroma make it very comforting, especially when eaten with soft neer dosa or steamed rice. The best thing is that it tastes even better the next day as the flavors come together. This lovely recipe is shared by home cook Reshma Kamat.
