PRAWN BALCHAO (GOAN PICKLE-STYLE HOT PRAWNS)

Prawn Balchao (Goan Pickle-Style Hot Prawns) image

This is a fiery, sweet and sour and wonderful dish from Goa. This recipe is partly taken from a friend's cookbook that she copied for me when I raved about the dish. I find that this dish is best the next day. If you don't like as much heat, cut down on the peppers and if you don't like much sour, cut the vinegar in half.
