Drain on to a paper towel (you can halve them, if you want). In the remaining oil, add ginger-garlic paste and saute for a minute. Next add thinly sliced onion and saute until onion turns brown. Add turmeric powder and chilly powder. Saute for 30 seconds and then add the chopped tomato. Saute until tomato gets mashed up and oil separates. Add the fried prawns. Mix everything well.
