Chemmeen (Prawn) Fry

Chemmeen (Prawn) Fry, this is one of my home cooking passed from one generation to another. This is a very classic, easy way of frying prawn. This taste can never ever beat any other prawn fry. I would recommend all to try this dish with rice and tomato rasam. Try this dish and enjoy your weekend.

Ingredients:

Prawns - 250 gms (cleaned and deveined)

Kashmiri chilli powder - 4 tbsp

Turmeric powder - ½ tsp

Garlic - 5 pods (crushed)

Tomatoes - 1 large (sliced)

Curry leaves - 2 string

Salt - to taste

Oil - for frying (3 tbsp)

Preparation:

- Add cleaned prawns, chilli powder, turmeric powder, crushed garlic, tomatoes, curry leaves, salt and mix well. Let stay for at least for 5 minutes.

- Heat oil in a pan, add the prawn mix and let cook with lid on till prawns are cooked (Make sure to stir the fry in between)

- Serve hot with rice, rasam and and also be accompanied with chapathis.

Note:

- This a very spicy fry, adjust spice and salt as per taste.

- Tomatoes are added to cut off the spice and to increase taste.

- Any oil can be used for frying. But we use all time favourite coconut oil for this dish.
