Crispy coconut fried prawns with sweet chilli chutney


A Big hi to all the food lovers..

I know I was away for a few weeks cooking and eating in the festive season, but I am back here again.
The recipe I am bringing to you today is in-fact a very simple and easy to make snack recipe.
After making this I realized that I had been needlessly wasting money on having the same dish in restaurants.





The recipe is Crispy fried prawns but I have added one twist to it from my side to make it crispy coconut fried prawns.
Also I will tell you how to make super simple sweet chili chutney, thanks to my husband who made it for me.

If you are a seafood lover or you love prawn, you will love this. My husband and I love prawns and hence we love this recipe too.  We have already had it thrice after I first made it which was less than a week ago :P

Here's all you need to make the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 King Prawns 10
2 Plain Flour 2 tablespoons
3 Cornflour 1 tablespoon
4 Baking Powder 1 teaspoon
5 Water/Soda 2 tablespoons
6 Egg  1
7 Salt 1 teaspoon
8 Crushed Pepper 1/2 teaspoon
9 Red chilli Flakes 1/2 teaspoon
10 Green chilli paste 1/2 teaspoon
11 Garlic powder A pinch
12 Oil to deepfry
13 Bread crumbs 3 tablespoon
14 Sesame seeds 1 tablespoon
15 Desiccated coconut  1 tablespoon

For Sweet Chilli Chutney:

1 Red Chilli paste 5
2 Honey 1 tablespoon
3 Water/Wine 1 teaspoon

Method:
  1. Heat the oil in a deep pan.
  2. Combine flour, cornflour, baking powder, water or soda, egg , salt , crushed black pepper, red chilli flakes, green chilli paste , garlic powder and make it into a smooth paste.
  3. Mix bread crumbs, sesame seeds and desiccated coconut is a separate bowl.
  4. When the oil is hot, soak the prawn in the flour mixture by one hand and in the bread crumb mixture by the other and drop it in the pan.
  5. Remove it when they are golden brown in color.
To make sweet chilli chutney just combine all the above mentioned ingredients in a bowl :)

Serve the prawns hot with the chiili chutney and enjoy.





Tip:

If you do not have red chili paste, just soak some dried red chili's in water and  grind them to make a paste.

Movie review.. Gone Girl


Gone Girl defines the story of a man and a woman in a strained marriage and leaves the viewers spellbound as how ugly can it get.
It is based on the novel 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn

The story is a thriller which would not let you keep your eyes off the screen even for a second.
The main actors Ben Affleck(Nick) and Rosamund Pike(Amy) have done a commendable job in playing their parts. The story takes interesting turns in the middle of the film and even the supporting actors such as Carrie Coon (Nick's sister) and Kim Dickens (Detective) have done utter justice to their roles.

After watching the movie I am so tempted to read the book so as to discover some more elements which the movie might not have covered.

Hence I would say that this movie is a must watch for everyone specially couples :P
I loved it and I hope you would too.

Happy Watching:)
