Method to make spicy prawn fired rice

Let us see the making of fried rice.

Marinate the prawns

In a bowl add the deveined and cleaned prawns.

To this add the salt, chilli powder, light soya sauce and vinegar. if you dont have vinegar, you can add the lemon juice also.

Mix them well and allow to marinate for about 30 to 45 minutes. keep it aside.

Fry the prawns

After about 30 minutes, in a big pan, add this marinated prawns. Saute them nicely so that prawns are almost cooked. It should be cooked for about 70 to 75% only.

no need to add any water, as the prawn itself leaves out water. cook in medium flame.

To know that prawns are 75% cooked, it gets curled up nicely and water dries out. It is the correct stage to remove the prawns from the pan.

remove it and keep it aside.

Prepare the fried rice

In the same pan, add oil

and when oil is hot add the ginger and garlic and fry in high flame.

also add the finely chopped onion and fry them too. If you want you can add 2 green chillies at this stage and fry them too. But i have not added here, as this spicy prawn fried rice is already spicy enough for our taste buds.

once the onion are nicely fried, add the capsicum and white part of the spring onions. Fry them in high flame.

In addition to it, add the soya sauce and the vinegar and mix them.

to this add the cooked prawns and green part of spring onions and again fry them in high flame.

Add little sugar so that it gives a nice sweet taste to the veggies and also maintains the colors of the added veggies.

now add the chilli sauce or tomato sauce, (i have added chilli sauce). In addition to it, add the pepper and salt as required.

Mix them well so that prawns gets fully cooked by this time. After that Add the boiled and cooked rice and fry them well in high flame so that they get a nice burnt flavor.

once the rice gets mixed well with the masala, then your spicy prawn fried rice is ready.

serve it with any raita.

Notes

1. You can adjust all the spiciness as per your taste buds. I have not added green chilli, as the chilli powder itself spicy enough for us.
2. For fried rice, the rice should be fried in high flame so that you can get nice smoky flavour to the dish.
3. Try to use a thick iron wok.

In a pan, add oil and oil is little hot, add the marinated prawns.

Saute the prawns nicely. Prawns gets cooked with the water from the prawns itself.

Do not cook them fully. Just cook them only for 75%. Because, when we add to masala, it needs to be cooked again.

To check if prawns are cooked correctly, the prawns gets curled up.

Now remove the prawns and keep it separately.

Prepare Gravy

In the same pan, add coconut oil or any cooking oil.

When it is hot, add the cumin seeds again, curry leaves, and fry them slightly for 1 minute.

Add the finely chopped onions now and saute them nicely.

Onions needs to be sauted nicely. Add the ginger and garlic paste.

Again fry them until the raw smell of ginger garlic paste goes off.

Add the tomato paste now and cook them for around 10 minutes. You can cover and cook it.

Tomato gravy turns thick.

Once the paste becomes thick, include the 75% cooked prawns now.

If masala is more thick, add little amount of water and cook the prawns for around 5 min.

Adjust the salt now. Add the sugar and mix well.

If you need, you can add the lemon juice or vinegar.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves

Keep the flame to low or even can switch off, as the prawns are already cooked well, else, they becomes rubbery.

Tangy and tasty prawn masala goan style is ready.

Serve it

Notes

For getting nice red color, add the kashmiri chilli powder.

You can adjust the chilli powder, according to your taste level.

This dish will be tangy, if you do not like the tanginess of the recipe, you can avoid adding the lemon juice to the prawns while marinating.

The post Restaurant Style Prawn Fry Recipe | Sunday Special Recipes appeared first on Learning-to-cook.

Kadai prawns is very similar to the kadai chicken or kadai paneer and tastes great with the blend of kadai masala and the crunchy bell peppers. Last Sunday, when I was thinking what to cook for the lunch as I have prepared many South Indian Prawn recipes already and wanted something new to try. Then while searching for net, I saw kadai chicken images and suddenly, I made up my mind to try this kadai prawns, following the recipe of kadai chicken here. But did slight changes to adopt to our family taste.

Kadai Prawn Recipe

Preparation time: 15 min (+1 hr for marination) | Cook Time: 30 min | Serves: 4

Recipe Category: Side dish | Recipe Cuisine: North Indian

Ingredients

Prawns – 1/2 kg
Onion – 2 (chopped finely)
Tomato – 1 (chopped finely)
Tomato Puree – from 2 tomatos
Cumin seeds – 1/2 tsp
Capsicum/bell peppers – 1 cup
Oil – 3 tbsp
Sugar – 1/2 tbsp (Optional)
Lemon – 1/4 piece (or lemon juice – 1 tsp) (optional)

Ingredients II (For Marination)
Chilli Powder – 1/2 tsp
Cumin Powder – 1/2 tsp
Corinader Powder – 1 /2 tsp
Turmeric – 1/5 tsp
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp

Ingredietns III (For Kadai Masala)
Dry Red Chilli – 5
Coriander seeds – 1/2 tbsp
Pepper corns – 1/2 tsp
Cumin seeds – 1/2 tsp
Fennel seeds – 1 tsp
Kasuri methi – 1/2 tsp (crushed)

Method to prepare Kadai Prawns

1. Wash and devein the prawns. Keep the kadai masala ready.

2. Add the ingredients mentioned in Ingredietns II list and marianate the prawns for 45 to 1 hr. If keeping in freezer  20 to 30 min is enough.

3. Now dry fry the masala mentioned in ingredients III till nice aroma comes.( around 3 to 4 min). Then ground them to a coarse powder. Keep it aside. 

4. Wash and Cut the bell peppers into cubes. In a kadai, add a tsp of oil and when it is hot, add the bell peppers and a pinch a salt and start cooking. Care should be taken that it retains its crunchiness and don’t let it brown. 

5. In a wok or kadai, add oil and when hot add the cumin seeds. When it splutters, add the onion and when onions becomes soft, add the ginger. Saute them well.

6.  Now add the chopped tomato and cook until soft. Now add the tomato puree. Let them cook well of around 4 to 5 min.

7. Now add the prawns. The prawns start to leave out water. Add the ground kadai masala that time and allow them to cook.

8. When the gravy turns to thick as shown in the picture, squeeze quarter lemon. (This step is optional. I added for tangy taste). Keep the flame low.

9. Now add the cooked capsicum or bell peppers and give a stir. Let it cook in low flame for 5 minutes, so that bell peppers absorb the kadai masala. Do not cook for more, as the capsicum looses its crunchiness. Add kasuri methi along with bell peppers. Add the sugar now, mix it well. cook in low for 1 minute and switch off the stove.

10. Garnish with coriander leaves and ginger and Serve the Kadai Prawns with roti or naan or even with plain rice.

Tasty and yummy Kadai Prawns are ready to be served.

Notes:
1. You can always adjust the spice leaves according to your family taste buds. The above one is a medium spicy one. But still my little ones, complained it is bit spicy.
2. For a rich gravy, you can add 3 tbsp of heavy cream, while adding the capsicum.
3. Instead of ginger pieces, you can add ginger paste also. But cook, till the raw smell goes off.
4. Adding capsicum is optional, it gives really nice taste to the gravy.
5. Adding sugar is also optional, but I like to add it to North Indian dishes normally.
6. Adding lemon juice is also optional, but adding it, gives a nice tangy taste. If your tomatoes are tangy already, then you can skip adding lemon juice.

Though I have heard this Garlic Butter Prawns or Butter Garlic Prawns, I have not tried this recipe, until I saw this recipe here. It looks so damn easy and I immediately went out to try. I finished cooking within 15 min and I loved the taste. I gave to my daughter and she liked the taste but my son said he needs more spicy and asked me to modify the the dish to prawn roast or prawn thokku with lots of Indian masalas. If he starts liking one taste, he always wants the same. But anyhow I loved the taste and finished this Butter garlic prawns as the side dish for plain rice.
