Step 2: Add the Prawns to it and mix the prawns with the batter and make sure all the prawns are coated completely.

Step 3: Now heat a pan and add some cooking oil to it to start frying of prawns.

Once the oil is heated up add the prawns one by one into the oil and fry the prawns on medium heat by gently flipping to and fro.

Step 4: They just get done under 3-5 mins, though it depends on the size of the prawns. The prawns swirl and take a C shape when are done. Do not overcook they will turn hard and rubbery. By then the flour-coated over the prawns turns crisp. Set these aside to an absorbent tissue.
