Prawns Masala Fry

Prawns Masala Fry is a spicy Fried Prawn dish, relished as a starter, can also be a star appetizer of your party. This dish originated on the Konkan coast. These deep-fried, prawns can be identified by their signature red color because of the use of Kashmiri red chili. I love this dish and I'm very sure this is going to be the appetizer for my next party :P Try this simple recipe and you will surely love it alltime you make it for your family!
