Masala Fried Prawns

If you like prawns, you will love this quick and easy recipe. This recipe originates from Mumbai and was cooked regularly by my parents. They always used raw prawns as cooked prawns are not readily available in Mumbai. Any prawns raw or even cooked ones available in UK will do just well. It is a great appetiser.
