👩‍🍳 Method:

Prep the Prawns:

• Clean and cut prawns if they’re large.
• Marinate with salt, turmeric, and red chili powder. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.

Make the Mixture:

• In the marinated prawns, mix cornflour, rava, chopped green chilies, spring onion leaves, coriander, and onion (if using).
• Add a small amount of water to bind the mixture — not too watery.

Form the Balls:

• Take a spoonful of the mixture in your palm and shape it into round balls.
• Roll each ball in breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

Fry the Shrimp Balls:

• Heat oil in a deep pan.
• Deep-fry the shrimp balls on medium heat until golden brown and crispy.
• Drain excess oil on paper towels.

🍽 Serving Suggestion:

✅ Tips:

• Don’t overcook the prawns, or they may become rubbery.
• Make small-sized balls for even frying and better crispiness.
• You can shallow fry or air-fry as a healthier version.
