Prawns Tawa Fry — coastline cooking: fresh catch, hard spices, and a clock that stops the second it is done. 35 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 20 min Cook 15 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Lemon1
  • Prawns350 g, cleaned
  • Red Chili Powder2 tsp
  • Coconut Oil3 tbsp

  • Tamarind Paste1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the prawns in the spices and lemon for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Coat in rice flour — a thin, honest layer, not a mask.

  3. 3

    Shallow-fry in coconut oil on medium until crusty and just done, 3-4 minutes a side.

  4. 4

    Serve with onion rings and lemon; the crunch is the whole argument.

Chef's tip

Coconut milk boils to butter if you rush it; warm it, never boil it.
