Ingredients :
2 cups cleaned dry prawns
lemon-sized ball of tamarind soaked in water
1 tsp chilli powder
1/4 tsp tumeric powder
salt to taste
1 cup freshly grated coconut
1 large onion
2 tsp oil
Preparation :
Clean the prawns by taking off the head, legs and tails.
Roast the prawns on a hot tawa on a slow fire with two teaspoons oil. Keep stirring continuously and when light brown, take off the prawns into two to three pieces each depending on the size.
Chop the onions finely. Mix together the coconut, chilli and tumeric powders, tamarind juice and salt thoroughly.
Just before serving add the prawn pieces and chopped onion and mix well once again.
Do not add the prawns beforehand as they will get soft. Onion may be roasted in a oil if preferred to raw.
