Prawn Cutlet

Ingredients:

Prawns (medium/semi big size) with the tail.
Potatoes 700 gm.
Roasted Cumin powder 1 tsp.
Ginger paste 1 tsp.
Garlic paste 1 tsp.
Sour dried mango powder (amchoor) 1 tsp.
Roasted coriander powder 1 tsp.
Garam Masala powder 1 tsp.
Salt to taste.
Dry roasted sesame seeds 1/2 cup.
Chopped Cilantro/Coriander leaves 2 tsp.
Chopped green chilies 3 tsp.
Asafoetida  (hing) 1/4 tsp.
Roasted peanut,grounded 2 tbsp.
Black pepper to taste.
Cornflour 1/2 cup.
Biscuits crumbs 1 cup.
Soy bean oil 1 cup.
Vinegar very little.
Bay leaf 1 large.

Method:

Mix ginger paste,amchoor powder,whole garam masala,bay leaf,asafoetida,salt and vinegar in water and let it come to boil.

Prick a toothpick in each of the prawns lengthwise and let it cook in the water.

After the prawns are cooked,pull out the picks from each one of them and set aside.

Boil potatoes,peel the skin off and mash them.

Heat oil in a skillet,and fry the mashed potatoes.

Add the cumin powder,ginger-garlic paste,amchoor powder,coriander powder,garam masala,salt,pepper,chopped cilantro,peanut powder,and mix well.

After every thing in combined well,take it off the heat.

Let it cool,enough to hold it in your palm.

Give it a shape of cutlet and place two prawns in such a way so that it get the shape of the claws of a crab,just so that the tails are poking out(that's how I've given the shape,you could do it as you like).

In a plate,mix cornflour and the roasted sesame seeds and roll the cutlets over,carefully.

Let it stand in the fridge for about an hour or so.

Then roll over on biscuits crumbs and fry it in oil,until golden brown.

Garnish it with rings of onions,lime slice and a spring of cilantro.

Serve hot with tomato ketchup.




Is that,two little crabs on your plate? (*winks*)
