Prawn Thokku Recipe Using Meamo Meats Prawns

Prawn thokku is a semi curry normally served as a side dish across southindia. We prepare such curries to pair with idly, dosa, steam cooked rice, parotta and biryani.

To purchase original jhatka meats is a hazel in the city and one must know the right place and way to clean it. At meamo fish, poultry, mutton and offals are fantastic and can vouch and say this is original jhatka meat from the flavor and taste. Meamo meats is 100% certified Jhatka meat, which means painless and cruelty free butchering. Be it goat meat, chicken or fish its hygienically cleaned and washed with turmeric then packaged and shipped to your door. I highly recommend meamo meat it does not contain any smell the meats are fresh and very tasty. Do use the Promo Code Vidya10 to purchase meat as per choice from meamo.
