• 500 gm large prawns, shelled and cleaned
• (I defrosted a bag of frozen ones)
• 1 tsp ginger, minced
• 4 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tbsp tamarind paste
• 1 tsp chilli powder
• Half tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp plain white flour
• Salt to taste
• 4 tbsp vegetable oil
• One lemon

Wash and dry the prawns. Mix with all the ingredients (bar the lemon juice) and two tablespoons of oil. Leave to marinate for about two hours.

When ready to eat, shallow fry the prawns in the remaining oil on ether side for two to three minutes turning once during cooking.

Pile up high on a large white platter and squeeze the lemon juice all over.
