Rava Fried Prawns is the dish which makes my mouth water. Even now while I am blogging about this dish, it's making my mouth water. This is very simple to cook and taste is awesome.In Goa we cook this dish atleast once a week. If no prawns are available, we rava fry any fish. We Goans love fish, specially sea fish.
The prawns needs to be cleaned properly. Check the video to learn how to clean prawns or shrimps.
The prawns that I make in my kitchen turns very tasty and juicy. Care should be taken not to over-cook them. Else they will turn rubbery. The bad smell of the prawns goes off if they are cleaned and marinated properly with turmeric powder and salt. I just love the smell of fish / prawns frying in my kitchen.
