Instructions for Deep Frying

  • 01

    Dip & coat the prawns and make sure the oil is on high heat for at least 5 mins, then start dipping 3 to 4 prawns at a time in batches, and do not move the prawns for 2 mins or else the coating will be separated & released, fry for another 2 to 3 mins as we do not want the prawns to be over cooked and rubbery, total time for deep frying the prawns will be 4 to 5 mins Max.

  • 02

    Finally garnish with Deep Fried Green Chilies or chat masala.

Notes
  • Once you dip the prawns make sure you leave it for at least 2 mins, or else the coating may come off.
  • Mint chutney goes very well with this particular dish.
