Chemeen Kilangu Roast / Shrimp Roast with any starchy vegetable
This is a very spicy recipe which can be a suitable combination to appam , parota , chapati or even rice.
Here in addition to shrimp we can use any Starchy Vegetable , i used Indian Water Chestnut(Singoda),
But you can use potato , kappa(Yuca) , Sweet Potato , Plantain , Senai (yam) .This is to fill the recipe as shrimp may shrink we may end up in quite a small dish if we don't add any additional veggies.
And i used frozen kind so its already cooked.But of you are using fresh vegetable just boil them in water with little turmeric pd and half cook them,drain and keep aside.The rest will cook with shrimp.
Like my regular roast recipe's i make it initially in a slight gravy consistency and then add extra oil and roast it completely to very dry consistency.
