Since trying the butter crabs at Mellben Seafood of which the thick and creamy sauce was to die for, I decided to try out my own rendition at home with crunchy prawns. And for that extra punch and aroma, I had added some mild curry powder and loads of curry leaves to my concoction which yielded a really addictive, creamy, rich and simply delicious sauce. If you’re into butter gravy dishes, you just have to try this Curry Butter Prawns!
