The literal translation of Tumtumta is delicious, mouth-watering spicy. This recipe is simple to make, with just a few ingredients. It is an ancient family treasure being revived for the next generation. The flavour really depends on the freshness of the prawns and spices. It is specially appreciated by prawn-lovers, who enjoy eating pure seafood – what we Parsis refer to as naki maal!
