Prawn Puttu
Prawn Mushroom Pulao
Marinate shrimp / prawns with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt, green chillies and little lemon juice.
Keep this aside for few minutes. Do not keep longer… the lemon will partially cook the shrimp.
Heat oil in a kadai…
Season with cumin seeds, fennel seeds and curry leaves.
Add in sliced onion,crushed ginger and garlic.
Fry until the onions become brown and crisp… add in the salt at this stage.
Frying to the onion to a crispy texture is the key to the recipe… mushy onion will yield chunky masala and not a roast.
When the onions reach the right texture add in the marinated shrimp / prawns.
Fry them over medium high flame until it cooks fully. It will kind of look pale at this stage.
Now increase the flmae to high…throw in some curry leaves and stir fry for a few minute which will quickly turn the masala brown and bring in that dry feel. (high flame stir fry is a must)
It will turn thick and dry as you stir fry… switch off!
And that’s how it will look when you scoop off the pan!
