Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 king prawns, headless
60 g breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon mild curry powder
1/4 teaspoon mint sauce
1 pinch salt
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and remove the veins from the King prawns, make a deep cut along the belly of the king prawns, open it out and press it down so it becomes flat. Take extra care not to slice all the way through when cutting the prawns. Wash and pat dry with kitchen towels.
  • 2. Place the King prawns in a bowl, add the garlic & ginger paste, secret mix powder, garden mint sauce and pinch of salt. Mix together well.
  • 3. Dip the king prawns in the beaten egg, then coat with the bread crumbs and deep fry until golden brown. Serve hot with salad and mint sauce.
