Tandoori Prawns image

A twist on the popular Indian favourite 'Tandoori Chicken'. I'm quite fond of the chicken variation but I just love what the recipe does to prawns. Most of you may not have a tandoor (outdoor clay oven) so just use a regular oven. Or better still, barbecue the prawns on a wintry night and serve with cold beer!

Time 2h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 large prawns
3 tablespoons hung curds (or thick yoghurt)
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon white pepper powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon garam masala (or curry powder)
1 tablespoon mustard oil (optional)
1 tablespoon malt vinegar
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
2 tablespoons melted butter
salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Clean and devein the prawns. Marinate in a mixture of the vinegar, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for an hour.
  • Stir the ginger-garlic paste and garam masala into the yoghurt. Add the mustard oil and cumin powder and mix well.
  • Drain the prawns of the first mixture and marinate in the second. Refrigerate for another hour.
  • Skewer and cook in a tandoor or oven, turning occasionally and basting with melted butter. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue grill.
  • Remove when the prawns are almost cooked (but not fully, since they will cook further with the internal heat). Serve with onion rings.
