Chingudi Mahura is basically Prawns and Selected Vegetables (Desi Pariba) Curry.
The Dish has a rich History as well.
In Puri, Odisha "Chingudi Mahura" is offered to Goddess Syama Kali, Ramachandi, Kakudi Khai on the night of Nabami and on Dussehra one can get this "Bhoga" or Offering or Prasad and even if it falls on a Thursday everyone has this Prasad.
