Sungta kalkali upkari (prawns potato curry)

Day before I was talking to my grand mom’s sister she asked me about my lunch menu.  I had bought prawns that day and I was planning to prepare our traditional prawns curry.  Then she remembered about one recipe her mom used to prepare and she gave the recipe to me.  But they used to prepare it with dry prawns/shark since I didn’t like the smell of dry fish I thought of preparing it with fresh prawns.
