Prawn fry

Prawn fry is an easy and delicious dish. You can eat it with chapati, rice or as a starter.


My cousin wanted me to add some sea food recipes. I chose prawns first. I have kept the ingredients simple so as not to lose the prawn flavor. Easy and quick to cook only if the prawns are de-shelled  and de-veined.

Serves -3

Preparation time -  30 min

Ingredients -

  1. Prawns - 250 gms
  2. Turmeric powder - 1 tea spoon
  3. Chilly powder - 2 - 3 Tb spoon
  4. Coriander powder - 1 Tb spoon
  5. Ginger garlic paste - 1 Tb spoon
  6. Green chilly -  2
  7. Oil - 6 Tb spoon 
  8. Curry leaves - 2 strings
  9. Onion - 1 medium size
  10. Salt

Procedure -

1. Clean and devein prawn. 

2. In a bowl add cleaned prawns, turmeric powder, chilly powder, coriander powder, ginger garlic paste and salt.


3. Mix well and keep it in fridge for 15 to 20 minutes.


4. Meanwhile chop the onion and cut each green chilly into 3 to 4 pieces.

5. In a frying pan or tawa add oil. Once the oil is hot add marinated prawns and green chillies. Cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes by flipping the prawns after 5 minutes.


6. Once the prawns are cooked transfer them in a bowl.


7. In the same pan or tawa add chopped onion and curry leaves and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes or until the onions turn translucent. You need not add extra oil as after removing prawns you will have oil remaining in the pan.


8. Add cooked onion and curry leaves to cooked prawns. Mix well. Squeeze lemon juice and serve hot.
