Kathurumurunga Leaves with Prawns

written by Amila Gamage Wickramarachchi December 30, 2013


Kathurumurunga Leaves with Prawns

Kathurumurunga leaves (Sesbania grandiflora,Agati Leaves) are one of favourite greens at our home. I have a habit of cooking greens much frequently with other Sri Lankan dishes. This leaves has a bit bitter taste, but it goes well in a meal once served with other curries and plain rice.

Kathurumurunga Leaves
The most popular method is to cook kathurumurunga leaves as a mallun. Anyway here I tried to cook it with prawns. Actually I used shrimps for this recipe.
Today I found these photos when search the computer for some other photos. Interestingly these pictures are about 1 year old. These are found as one of unposted recipes among many photos/recipes.
