Shrimp fry
Ingredients:
½ kg shrimp, cleaned and drained
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ tsp turmeric powder
A few sprigs of curry leaves and coriander leaves
2 tbsp cornflour
4 slices of bread
A pinch of salt (for breadcrumbs)
1 tsp pepper powder (for breadcrumbs)
1 tsp crushed chili (for breadcrumbs)
A handful of crushed cornflakes
Oil for frying
Preparation
In a bowl, combine the cleaned shrimp with chili powder, salt, pepper powder, garam masala powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, turmeric powder, curry leaves, and coriander leaves.Mix everything well with your hands.Add cornflour and mix again thoroughly with your hands. Let the shrimp rest for one hour.Take the bread slices and grind them coarsely, not too finely. In a bowl with the breadcrumbs, add a pinch of salt, pepper powder, crushed chili, and crushed cornflakes. Mix all the breadcrumb ingredients well. Take a marinated shrimp and insert a skewer from the tail end through to the middle of the flesh.This helps the shrimp stay straight during frying.Coat each skewered shrimp generously with the prepared breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to ensure they stick well.
Repeat this process for all the marinated shrimp. Trim any excess length from the skewers. Heat enough oil in a pan for deep frying. The oil should be sufficient to submerge the shrimp.Once the oil is hot, gently add the breaded shrimp. Fry on medium heat. After about one minute, flip the shrimp. Continue frying for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp, as it can become tough. The total frying time should be around 3-4 minutes.Remove the fried shrimp from the oil and drain them on a paper towel.
