Dried Prawns Kismoor is a very popular accompaniment which goes excellent with a typical Goan meal consisting of rice, fish curry, Rava Fish Fry, tonak, prawns sukhe etc. I have also seen it being served as a part of the salads section in buffet menu in restaurants in Goa.
Usually dried fish and dried prawns are stocked up in every Goan household and they act as a savior on the days when fish is not available in the markets. Since I am away from Goa for the past 10 years, I also always make it a point to carry dried prawns with me and stock them up.
I had also posted a recipe for Bitter Gourd Kismoor a few days back. So for vegetarians this is a good alternative to the dried prawns kismoor.
