  • 1 Teaspoon Cumin Powder

  •  ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  •  2-3 Tablespoons Coconut/Peanut Oil, for frying

Instructions 

Prawn Marinade

Add all the ingredients for the prawn marinade to a bowl and mix well to combine. Cover and marinate for up to 20 minutes. Prawns don’t need longer than that.

Rava Fry

  • Combine semolina, rice flour, salt and mix well. Transfer onto a flat plate and set aside.
  • Once the prawns are marinated, drain any excess water in the bowl and discard it. 
  • Take the prawns one by one and roll them in the rava mix, dredging them on both sides. Allow to rest for 5 minutes to allow the coating to stick to the prawns.
  • Heat coconut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated prawns one by one, making sure to leave some space between each prawn. Shallow fry on each side for 2 – 3 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove once cooked and transfer to a tissue lined plate to absorb the excess oil. Serve hot along with some dal rice or just some pudina chutney!
