Prawn Cashew fry

Ingredients
  • Prawn - 1/2 kg
  • Cashew nut - 10 to 15
  • Small onions - 10 to 15
  • lemon Juice - 2 tsp
  • Ginger - 2"
  • Garlic - 4 pods
  • Somph - 2 tsp
  • Chilli powder - 2 tsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil - 2 tbsp

Method

Slice the small onions very finely.
Clean the prawns and wash them well.
In a bowl mix the prawns, small onions(half of the quantity), chilli powder, salt and lemon juice. Let this marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
Crush ginger, garlic and somph coarsely.
To that marinated prawn add half a cup of water and cook on low fire for 5 to 10 minutes.
In a frying pan heat oil fry the cashew nuts, add the sliced onions and fry till slight brown. Now add the crushed paste and saute well for 2 minutes and then add the prawns. Cook well untill it gets dry.

Note: Actually this fry do not take in much oil, even still if you are much health conscious you can even avoid the cashew nuts. Prawns generally get cooked faster. so keep littl;e water and cook. Cooking for a long time will make the prawns harder.
