    This is yet another starter made with Prawns from Amma's hand written dairy. She had that recipe for quite sometime, though every time she makes prawns, she makes the regular Prawns Roast. So she said she was looking for a new recipe and was leafing through her dairy, when she saw this recipe being noted down many years ago.
    Dad said he remembers eating a dish called by this name in a hotel in Hyderabad. Nobody knows why it is called Loose Prawns fry, though knowing how much my kids loved this prawn dish, I really don't care why the name.
    The dish is pretty simple and easy to make as well, as one need not rest the prawns after mixing. The crispiness comes from deep frying it right after mixing in the batter.

    Loose Prawns Fry

    How to make the Loose Prawns

    Clean and wash the prawns. Drain well.

    In a bowl, take the prawns along with corn flour, maida, salt, white pepper, ajinomoto, mix well. Beat the egg well and add to the bowl. Mix everything together. There is no need to add water as egg is enough to bind everything.

    There is no need to rest this as resting will get the prawns become soggy.

    Heat a kadai with cooking oil, deep fry the prawns in batches and drain on a kitchen towel.

    In a kadai, heat a teaspoon of cooking oil. Saute, green chilies, ginger, garlic and onions till they turn colour,  Add salt and red chili powder. Next, add the tomato sauce. Combine everything together.

    Now, quickly add the fried prawns and toss together, sprinkle finely chopped spring onions on top and serve right away.
