How to make

Prawn Pakoras
First, mix together the 3 flours in a large bowl.
Add your spice mix and the ginger garlic paste to the flours. Season with salt.
Slowly add your beer (or sparkling water) to the mixture whilst combining this together to create your batter for the prawns.  You are looking for this to be a smooth consistency.  Use a blender, if needed.
Take a large pan and heat some frying oil. The oil needs to be very hot, about 180C.  Then take one prawn at a time, and dip into your batter.
The prawns take just a few minutes to cook, you want them to be crispy and golden brown.  We suggest coooking half the prawns first, then cook your second batch.
Within 2-3 minutes of cooking, you will have delicious and crispy prawn pakoras.
If you find that your prawns are not sticking to the batter, you may find you may need a little more flour to thicken up your batter mixture.
Serve and enjoy!
