Calabash And Shrimp Curry is a delicious twist with flavours of the vegetable & shellfish. This curry may omit the shrimp if you need a vegetable curry for those meat free days or if you’re allergic to any fish. Growing up, my family used to prepare this meal & as a kid I was not too fond of it, but now as an adult, I simply love it.

The calabash, bottle gourd, or white-blossomed gourd, Lagenaria siceraria, likewise known by numerous different names that incorporate opo squash, long melon, suzza melon, New Guinea bean & Tasmania bean, is a vine developed for its organic product, which can either be utilized as a vegetable or dried, & utilized as a jug, utensil, or pipe. The crisp organic product has a light-green smooth skin & a white tissue. Rounder varieties are called calabash gourds.

The term shrimp is utilized to allude to some decapod shellfish, despite the fact that they can vary. Utilized extensively, it might cover any of the gatherings with prolonged bodies & an essentially swimming method of movement – most normally Caridea & Dendrobranchiata. In a few fields, be that as it may, the term is utilized all the more barely, & might be limited to Caridea, to littler types of either gathering, or to just the marine species. Under the more extensive definition, shrimp might be synonymous with prawn, covering stalk-looked at swimming shellfish with long tight strong tails (bellies), long bristles (receiving wires), & slim legs.
