Crispy Shrimp Fritters
Fresh prawn cooked the Kerala way — with coconut, curry leaves, and a tartness that comes from kudampuli or tamarind. Coastal Kerala cooking at its simplest and best.
Ingredientsfor 3 servings
- 200 g Shrimps cleaned, washed and drained, Chemmeen
- 1 tsp Pepper powder
- 1 tbsp Soya sauce
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
- 11/2 tbsp Cornflour
- 1/4 tsp Vinegar
- 1 tsp Celery — chopped
- Ajino moto A pinch
- 1 tsp All purpose flour Maida

- Salt, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
For preparing crispy shrimp fritters, first make a mixture with 1/2 tsp pepper powder, 1/2 tbsp soya sauce, turmeric powder and mix the drained chemmeen.
Step 2
Put the shrimp mixture in a pan and sprinkle some drops of water. Cook in slow fire by covering with a lid. Let the water evaporate completely. Keep the cooked chemmeen aside.
Step 3
Beat the egg whites until fluffy and make a batter adding remaining pepper powder, remaining soya sauce, cornflour, vinegar, chopped celery, ajino moto, maida and required salt.
Step 4
Now we are entering the final stage of preparation of crispy shrimp fritters. Take a pan and heat sufficient oil for fry in hot oiling.
Step 5
Dip the cooked chemmeen in the cornflour batter and fry in hot oil until golden and crisp.
Step 6
Delicious crispy shrimp fritters are ready. Serve hot.
Tip
Never stir a fish curry with a spoon. Shake the pot gently to coat the pieces — stirring breaks them apart.
