Andhra Style Spicy Prawns Masala Curry | How to Make Prawns Masala Fry
6 Comments
Andhra style Prawns masala is one of the simplest recipes that can be easily made by Bachelors and also Beginners. It has simple ingredients such as Prawns, Onions, Salt, Chilli powder that are always available at home.
This is made differently in different regions. I am making it in the Andhra style.This curry is a dry and spicy curry and goes well with Rice.
Tomatoes are usually used in this recipe but here I am not using them and making it with only Onion paste. Getting the proper texture of Prawns is important or else they stretch like rubber and stink. Follow the tips to get a perfect, soft Prawn curry.

Tips
Prawns:
1.I am using medium-sized lake Prawns .You can use Tiger Prawns, if available
-
You have to marinate the Prawns along with Salt and Turmeric for at least half an hour,so that they absorb the salt well
-
Water will evaporate from the Prawns once you start frying them in Oil.They will get half cooked if you cook for 4 minutes. Keep them aside. Remaining 50% will get cooked in the gravy and taste spicy and soft.
Oil:
1.More than usual quantity of Oil is required to make this curry, then only it tastes good.
Tomatoes:
-
I haven't used Tomatoes in this recipe,but you can use 2 Chopped Tomatoes and cook them till they become soft. Add salt and chilli powder if required.
-
If at all the Curry turns out to be bitter either by burning spice paste or using excess masalas, you can reduce it by adding a little Lemon juice in the end.
