Sure! Here's a recipe for Kerala-style fried prawns:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound (450g) large prawns, cleaned and deveined
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- Salt to taste
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons rice flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Curry leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine red chili powder, turmeric powder, ginger paste, garlic paste, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.
2. Add the cleaned prawns to the marinade and coat them evenly. Let the prawns marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
3. After marinating, remove the prawns from the refrigerator and sprinkle rice flour over them. Toss the prawns gently to coat them evenly with the flour.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or a wok over medium heat. Make sure there is enough oil to completely submerge the prawns.
5. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the prawns to the oil in small batches. Fry the prawns until they turn golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.
6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried prawns from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil.
7. Repeat the frying process with the remaining prawns until all are cooked.
8. Garnish the fried prawns with fresh curry leaves for an added aroma and flavor.
Your Kerala-style fried prawns are now ready to be served! They make a delicious appetizer or can be enjoyed as a side dish with steamed rice and a spicy dip. Enjoy your meal!
