Instructions
-
Marinate
Clean and pat dry the prawns. In a bowl, combine the prawns with ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, lemon juice, and salt. Let them marinate for 20 minutes.
-
Mix Coating
On a flat plate, thoroughly mix the semolina, rice flour, and a pinch of salt.
-
Coat
Take each marinated prawn, discard excess moisture, and press it firmly into the rava mixture so it gets an even, crusty coating.
-
Shallow Fry
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or tawa on medium heat. Place the coated prawns in a single layer without overcrowding. Pan-fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on one side until golden, then gently flip and crisp the other side for another 2 minutes.
-
Serve
Remove and drain on a paper towel. Serve hot as a starter with a wedge of lime or as a side with rice and dal.
