1.      Marinate the prawns with juice from half a lemon. Let it be there for 15-30 minutes. After that strain the water from prawns and keep it aside.

3.      Then add the prawns. Let the mixture coat every single prawns nicely.

4.      Let it sit for a minimum of half an hour.

5.      Heat oil in a kadai. When the oil is ready add the prawns and fry till golden brown.

Note:

       Prawns take only few minutes to fry. Overcooked prawns become rigid and difficult to eat. So remove the prawns when it is just cooked.

      Lemon juice that we use to marinate in the first step makes the prawns soft, which result in very soft and juicy fried prawns.
