Making of Prawn 65 / Prawn Deep Fry –
Preparation:

- Take a wide mouth bowl, add prawns, chilli powder, besan or gram flour, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, and curry leaves and salt.
- Mix them all together with your hands, add the food colour if you need, then lemon juice, mix well with your hands.
- Marinate for 20 mins.
- Heat oil in a kadai, gently drop in the marinated prawns and deep fry them for 2 mins or until they are fried.
Serve hot.

This dish looks amazing! I just love how saucy those shrimp look.
