DAAB CHINGRI RECIPE

Daab Chingri is a famous Bengali recipe where prawns are cooked in tender coconut which makes an aromatic delicacy. For this recipe, we need a tender, meaty, young coconut which is popularly known as " shash ala daab" in Bengali. Cut the top part carefully to make a hole. The cut part when put on the coconut, looks almost like a lid. Cut a little bit at the bottom so that it stands well on the oven while cooking. Scoop out the flesh part.
