Yummy Fried Indian Prawn Cutlet

Clean, devein and steam the prawns, then finely chop them. While steaming, ensure not to overcook as prawns tend to become hard.

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent. Remember to keep the heat at medium to avoid burning those onions, we want them to be golden and aromatic.

Add green chilies and ginger-garlic paste to the pan and cook until the raw smell disappears.

Add turmeric powder, chili powder, garam masala powder and salt. Mix well and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Now, it's time to add the chopped prawns into the pan. Cook for a few minutes until all the spices are well absorbed by the prawns.

Next, add the mashed potatoes and coriander leaves. Mix everything together. The mashed potatoes acts as a binder, so ensure they are well incorporated.

Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.

Once cool, shape the mixture into small oval cutlets. Dip each cutlet into the beaten eggs and then coat them with semolina. Semolina gives a crunchy texture when the cutlets are fried.

In a frying pan, heat oil. Once the oil is hot enough, fry each cutlet until both sides turn golden brown.

Drain the cutlets on an absorbent paper to remove excess oil and then serve hot with a side of your favorite sauce or dip.
