Tikka prawn popadoms are a fun and inventive canapé, perfect for any party. These tikka prawn popadoms will elevate any celebration with a sweet and tangy mango sauce and fresh and delicious prawns. The textural difference between the popadums and the sauce will both surprise and delight your guests. If you don’t like coriander, why not try garnishing this delicious tikka prawn popadom dish with some cumin seeds.
