Batter fried prawns. Every one at home loves this dish. (except my vegetarian gal of course) I usually serve this as a starter with soup. My son-in-law Riyaz goes head over heels when ever i make this for him. Last night , had my husband’s neice and her family here for dinner at my daughter’s place. It was a grand feast. This batter fried prawns also was made then well my gal and myself divided the menu into 2 portions and prepared the dishes. Mine was fish , prawn and crab and hers was chinese .Her aunt and her kids went bonkers over the chinese food served .In fact they did compliment her saying that she has cooked even better than me . Both of us were so happy about it. Mohammed , my hubby’s neices son was like fried rice and noodles is supppppeeeerrrrrr. My daughter now has an added qualification as a good cook.
