About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 8 4/5 oz prawns
- 7 1/10 oz gram flour
- 0.42 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- a pinch black pepper
- 3 tbsp oil
Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gram flour, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and a pinch of black pepper until evenly combined.
- 2Gradually add the water while stirring, creating a thick, smooth batter with no lumps; let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
- 3Gently fold the peeled and deveined prawns into the batter, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
- 4Heat the oil in a deep, heavy‑bottomed pan over medium heat until it reaches about 356°F (350°F) – a small drop of batter should sizzle and rise to the surface quickly.
- 5Using a spoon or small ladle, carefully drop batter‑coated prawns into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
- 6Fry the prawns for 3–4 minutes, turning once, until the coating is golden brown and crisp.
- 7Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 8While still hot, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fritters and serve immediately with green chutney on the side.
