- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cornflour
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste

Instructions
Rinse the prawns thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine red chili powder, turmeric powder, salt, cornflour, all-purpose flour, and ginger-garlic paste.
Add the prawns to the spice mixture and coat them evenly.
Mix in the finely chopped green chilies and soy sauce, ensuring the prawns are well-marinated. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated prawns in small batches and fry until golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Remove the fried prawns from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Garnish the chilli prawn fry with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve it hot with lemon wedges on the side.
