@Anonymouscooking prawns first takes the raw fishy taste which i dont like at all. and makes the prawn more juicy

Came out superb!! I had some left over prawns I already cleaned & marinated in turmeric, salt and ginger garlic paste for a day. I decided to try this recipe. The only change I made is- I added red food coloring. Everything else was exact. It was just too damn good! The crispiness from the corn starch added that extra flavor lol. Had for dinner with beans carrot poriyal and sambar sadam. I'm going to try this exact recipe with chicken thighs in a few days.
Thank you sooo much! Please dont stop blogging. It helps us who are away from home
