Prawns Fry

Ingredients:

Prawns                                   --   ½ kg

Onion                                    --    1 medium size

Ginger Garlic Paste             --    2 tsp

Turmeric powder                 --    ½ tsp

Chilly powder                       --    2 tbsp

Pepper powder                    --    1 tsp

Curry leaves                        --   3 springs

Coconut pieces                    --   as required

Oil                                        --   4 tbsp

Salt                                      --    to taste

Preparation of Prawns Fry:

Marinade the prawns with the turmeric powder, chilly powder, pepper powder, ginger garlic paste and salt. If using fresh prawns, cook it until the water is absorbed.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add the cooked prawns. Fry them until they turn slightly crispy and fish them out. You can also add the fresh prawns directly into the oil for frying. I cook it before just to avoid the spluttering due to water content.

 

Add remaining oil in the pan and add the thinly sliced coconut pieces. Fry until they are very light brown in colour. Now add the finely chopped onions and curry leaves. Saute until the onions are light brown.

Add the fried prawns, mix well and serve hot.
