Prawns Fry

Ingredients

Prawns - 500 grams
Turmeric powder - 1 teaspoon
Red chili powder - 2 teaspoon
Shallots - 8
Ginger - 1 medium
Garlic - 7
Curry leaves
Tomato ketchup - 1 teaspoon
Water - 1/2 cup
Salt
Oil

First marinate prawns with little salt, turmeric powder and red chili powder in a bowl. Keep it for 10 - 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add, shallots, ginger and garlic in a mixer. And just grind it. We need thick mixture and not a fine one. Use Ammi Stone if you have it at home. Its a traditional method to use small ammi stone to mash shallots, ginger and garlic which will give us the real flavor instead of using ginger garlic paste.

Now take a pan with water and heat it. Add prawns to it and cook this for 5 minutes by covering the lid. Add mashed shallots, ginger, garlic and curry leaves to this. Mix really well. Cook it for two minutes. Finally add little oil and after couple of minutes add tomato ketchup. Prawns fry is my all time favorite especially this recipe since we are using ginger, garlic and shallots. It is so yummy and gives a different flavor all together. Please try it out.
