Instructions

1 Prepare the spice marinade: In a small bowl combine chilli powder, cumin powder,
turmeric, salt and just enough vinegar and make a paste. Do not add all the
vinegar, if not required. Marinate the prawns at room temperature for 10
minutes, while prepping the other ingredients.
2 Fry the prawns/shrimp: Place a medium to large size non-stick heavy bottomed
shallow frying pan on medium-high heat. Drizzle the oil and wait until the oil
just begins to smoke. Place the prawns in a single layer (NOTE 3) and fry for
2-3 minutes. Turn over to the other side and fry for 1-2 minutes. You know the
prawns are perfectly cooked when they turn into a ‘C’ shape. Remove the prawns
on to a bowl. Fry them in batches, if necessary.
3 Sauté the aromatics: Add the onions and fry until translucent (4 minutes). Add
curry leaves, ginger and green chilli and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Add 4 tbsp. water, ¼ tsp. chilli powder and ½ tsp salt (optional). Stir to
combine.
4 Add the prawns back: Add the prawns back to the pan along with any juices from
the bowl, tossing gently for a few seconds to coat. Remove from heat and
transfer to a serving platter.
5 Garnish with coriander leaves or fried curry leaves and serve immediately as an
appetiser or side dish along with hot steamed rice and Coconut Dhal
