Prawn Vindaloo is a Goan dish and it has gone into my favorite list immediately when I tasted it. This is the first time i am trying out this recipe and came out so so good. All my family members loved this recipe so much. I am not sure, whether the traditional recipe has sugar in it, but I added it in order to reduce the spiciness.
