PREPARATION METHOD
Wash the prawns well, pat dry them and set aside.

Deep fry them, until they turn golden brown.

TIP 1: The crispiness will fade as time passes and will soften, in such cases deep fry them again for a few seconds just before serving. You can use the same tip for other fried dishes too. But take care not to fry them too much.
TIP 2: Fry on a low flame never fry on a high flame, on a high flame the outer batter will get cooked but the inner portion will remain uncooked.
TIP 3: You can add some curry leaves along with the prawns while frying to get a good aroma and flavor.
TIP 4: Always before frying check whether the oil is ready for frying. To check that, add a drop of batter and see whether it comes up, if it does not then the oil is not ready. The drop should come up.
TIP 5: Never overcook prawns. If overcooked they will become too rubbery and will lose their juicy nature. To retain the juiciness just fry them for few minutes (2-3 minutes) on a low flame.
