Prawn Chilly curry noodles-inspired from Malaysian Laksa

This recipe is inspired from Malaysian soup Laksa. Traditionally it is made with rice noodles, prawns, chicken etc, this Malaysian curry laksa consists of sweet, sour, salty and spicy elements, But I did not have all the ingredients and  prepared it my way using Indian spices.So it became a fusion dish.I loved every bite or sip of it and my daughter kept asking for more .The only short coming may be it became very spicy which you can adjust according to your taste buds
