Prawn Batter Fry

This is a tasty prawn batter fry recipe. I was thinking of a variety prawn fry recipe and was browsing through the net when I came across this one and immediately decided to try it out. It came out perfectly well and everyone loved it, especially my little boy who usually hates prawns.

Ingredients

Prawns - 200 grams
All purpose flour - 2 spoons
Corn flour - 2 spoons
Rice flour - 1/2 spoon
Red chilli powder - 1 spoon
Chat masala - 1/2 spoon
Garam masala - 1/4 spoon
Pepper powder - 1/2 spoon
Lemon juice - 1 spoon (For washing the prawns)
Salt - As per taste
Oil - For deep frying
Toothpicks

Preparation

Shell and de-vein prawns and wash well in water. Apply some lemon juice and salt and set aside for a few minutes and wash it well again.
Take a bowl and all the above said ingredients, except prawns and lemon juice and add some water and make a batter out of it. The batter should not be too runny nor too thick.
Take the prawn pieces and pat dry them using a kitchen towel or tissue paper. (If the prawns are wet the batter wont stick to the prawns well)
Insert tooth picks into the prawns through one end and set aside. Do this with the rest of the prawns.
Place a pan on flame and pour oil into it. Let it heat up well on low flame.
Now dip them in the prepared batter by holding the stick and drop off the excess batter by holding it for a while. (If you don't remove excess batter the layer will come off from the prawns while frying)
Then gently drop them into the pre-heated oil.
Gently turn sides and fry on medium flame for just 3 minutes or until the batter turns brownish and crispy.
Remove from flame and place on a tissue paper to absorb excess oil. Serve!!
