Ingredients
1. King prawns - 12 (Clean and wash them. Do not remove their tails)
Corn flour / starch - 2 tbsp
Chilly powder - 1 - 1.5 tsp (Adjust it according to your spice tolerance)
Salt - To taste
2. Spring onion - 1/2 - 3/4 cup, chopped
Pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1 pinch
Method
1. Mix the corn flour, chilly powder and salt with a little water (around 1/4 cup or so) to make a thick batter. Taste-check for salt. Dip the prawns in this mixture and shallow/ deep fry in oil. Cook for 4 - 5 minutes on each side. Drain on to a paper towel.
2. In another pan, heat 1/4 - 1/2 tsp oil (use the left-over oil from step 1). Add the spring onions, a pinch of salt and pepper powder. Saute for 2 - 4 seconds or until the spring onion just wilts. Add in the fried prawns. Mix everything well and serve immediately.
Do not skip adding spring onions, it gives a very nice flavor to this preparation.
