• Heat oil in tawa or frying pan.
• Arrange marinated prawns and fry on a slow heat till golden colour, while turning the prawns on both sides so that the spice powders are well coated on the prawns (Adjust heat low to medium and give enough time so that both the sides are cooked).
• For Spicy stir fried grilled prawns: Heat oil in a frying pan.
• Fry finely sliced onions till golden colour and fragrant.
• Add curry leaves, sliced ginger and garlic and fry for 5 - 7 minutes on a low heat till you get a nice aroma of curry leaves and colour change.
