Chilli Prawns

Here is a simple tasty spicy Prawn recipe. I don't eat Prawns, but I do cook for my husband. I mostly cook Prawns fry for him. This time, he wanted it more spicier and I tried this recipe and I got appreciation. Addition of Sambar powder enhances the taste to this recipe. This goes well with Fried rice or starter dish.

Tips:

• Ajinamotto and Vinegar can be added in Marination step for more taste, but it is highly optional.
• Don't cook Prawns much in Step 4 as it will becomes rubbery since Prawns will be cooked faster.
• Add more green chillies according to your taste as adding sauces will have sweet flavour..
