  • 200 grams Prawns (Shrimps)
  • 2 tablespoons Besan (Gram Flour)
  • 3 tablespoons Rice Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Curd (Yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • 1 teaspoon Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cumin Seeds Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1/4th cup Water, to bind the flours with prawns

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, add prawns, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, cumin powder & salt.
  2. Add ginger-garli paste, lemon juice and mix the spices with prawns.
  3. Set aside prawns to marinate for 10 minutes.
  4. Once marinated, add curd (yogurt), besan (gram flour) & rice flour. Add 1/4th cup water and mix well.
  5. The batter of besan & rice flour should nicely coat the prawns so do not add too much water.
  6. Heat oil in a kadhai to deep-fry the prawns.
  7. Fry a few prawns at a time so as to not overcrowd the kadhai.
  8. Fry on a medium flame for 3 minutes or till the prawns turn golden brown in colour.

  10. Serve immediately with slices of onions & sprinkle some lemon juice on top.
