Prawns Fry

One more prawns recipe. I guess I’ve posted more prawns recipes here than fish recipes . After all who can resist prawns right ?? Some people might say prawns increase your cholesterol, but once in a while its ok to indulge in such simple pleasures of life, isn’t it, what say ;)??

Anyways,didn’t I tell you in my previous post, about the royal pampering back home :)?? Yes, this comes from my Mom in law’s kitchen. We, Jose n myself, just loved it. I was multitasking at lunch time on the  day this was made… stocking up the prawns in my plate,  covering it from eagle eyes (read Jose ;) ) and enjoying each bite of it…

Hope you will also enjoy it as we did :)

Here is the recipe:

1. Tiger prawns – 10
2. Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
3. Chilly powder – 1 tsp
   Pepper powder – 1tsp
   Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
4. Oil – 1tsp
5. Lemon juice – 1 tsp
6. Curry leaves – chopped
7. Oil – for frying
   Salt

Combine all the ingredients and make a paste. Marinate the prawns with this paste and keep aside for half an hour. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry it for 5-7 minutes. If you fry it for long, the prawns will become hard.

Notes: You can put the prawns on a skewer/tooth pick and fry, if you wish. Using coconut oil will enhance the flavor.
