Today we have two prawn recipes to share with you all. The first one is from Nitha’s Amateur Perceptions where the prawns are first fried and then mixed with sautéed onion, ginger-garlic paste etc. The second one is our version where the onion, g-g paste are sautéed first to which the marinated prawns are added and cooked. Both the dishes tasted awesome with rice and chapatis. Hope you will enjoy them as much as we did!! Thanks to Nitha for the recipe.
Ingredients
- Prawns – 1/4 – 1/2 kg or around 30 – 35 (I used jumbo prawns)
- Onion – 1 medium sized, sliced thin
- Ginger-garlic Paste – 2 tsp
- Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
- Chilly powder – 2 tsp or as required
- Pepper powder – 1 tsp
- Curry leaves – 3 sprigs
- Coconut slices – 1-2 tbsp ( I didn’t use them)
- Oil – 2 tbsp
- Salt – To taste
Method
1. Marinate the prawns with the turmeric powder, chilly powder, pepper powder, ginger garlic paste and salt, at least for 30 mts. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add the marinated prawns. Stir fry them in oil until they are just cooked and drain on to a paper towel.
2. Add more oil in the pan, if required and add the thinly sliced coconut pieces. Fry until they are light brown in color. Now add the thinly sliced onions and curry leaves. Saute until the onions are light brown. Add the fried prawns, mix well and serve hot.
