Super Simple Prawn Recipe!

The quickest prawn recipe I've seen - and very tasty too. Learnt from my mother.
................................................................................................
Boil prawns with a little turmeric and sufficient salt. Do not add any water - the prawn will release lots of water. Prawn cooks pretty fast.

Slice some sambar onions (shallots) in thin rounds, and fry. The thinner you slice, the faster it fries and the nicer it tastes. And the more you onions you have, the nicer it tastes.

Add some chilly powder and fry a few seconds.

Then add the prawn - it may still have some water, so stir until dry or semi-dry as you want, some people also fry the cooked prawn first and then add to the onions.

That's it! Tastes really good. If you want it spicier, add some chilly powder when you are boiling the prawn itself.

Goes with chapathis and rice. And possibly with bread too.
