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:
Ingredients
- 10 Tiger prawns
- 1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
- 1 tsp Chilly powder
- 1 tsp Pepper powder
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Oil
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- Curry leaves (chopped)
- Oil (for frying)
- Salt
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients, except prawns and oil, 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.

Hi Shavani,
Thank you for bringing it to my attention… you are right, the pic is taken from my blog.

Hi Maria, I have tried prawn fry with similar recipe type, but it was not cooked well after frying. My husband told me to boil/book once before marinate .Then fry it.
Hi Kavi,
You can also fry the prawns that way. I guess it depends on the size & type of prawns you use.
Cheers

Hi Maria
I was introduced to this site last week by my sis, Alice. I guess this is a big hit with NRIs. I hv already tried 2 cakes and prawn fry and prawn roast . I must say all came out well. I hv been on the look out for a suitable recipe site and at last I got it from you. I found the recipes uncomplicated and well written. Especially the notes – it say a lot abt minute details which are very imp. Usually that is what most recipes miss out.
And Maria, hv u tried out ice creams? It is getting hotter here(B’lore) and I was trying out ice cream for my toddlers.
Thanks a lot Maria. Your passion keeps us happy.
Cheers

Hey Maria,
The prawns look lovely. Will be trying it tomorrow. Just a quick question, do we need to cook the prawns before we do the shallow frying?
Hi Donna,
Thanks dear :)
I think my reply is a bit late :( However you dont have to cook the prawns before frying.
Cheers
