Description
Noodle wrapped prawn fry. There is a restaurant here at my place called capsi,where they serve awesome tasting food. I had a dish called crispy fried chicken which they had wrapped chicken stripes with noodles and deep fried it, then sauteed in a combination of some sauces and garnished with spring onions. It was so very yummy.Wanted to try it at home. Then thought why not try it with prawns. To my surprise came across a recipe with noodles wrapped in prawn. Wolla , took note but made few changes and worked spot on. It’s become a regular dish at home now.
