Hi Michael

Have you searched for Prawn Puri?
Is that the same as what you are looking for?

When this dish was first on the menu's, it was only available as a starter.
Prawn Pathia and puri.
A very dry dish and a Wonderful flavour!
The owners realised it was a best seller and decided to make it a main dish and stick a basic Bhuna with the prawns for the starter.
Somehow over the years the dish changed completely and now has Pineapple in it :-X >:(
There are still a handful of old school chefs where you'll find the original recipe, albeit a main dish and not with a puri as a starter.
If you're ever around Wimbledon, check out the Colliers Wood Tandoori.
You wont be disappointed.

Frank.  ;)
