Orange Prawn

Ingredients:-

• Medium size prawn 500gm (cleaned & deveined, try to keep the tail)
• 1 egg
• ½ cup Maida/ corn flour
• Salt as per taste
• 2tsp crushed pepper powder
• 1tsp ginger paste
• 1tsp orange zest
• 1tsp lemon juice /vinegar
• ½ cup orange juice
• ½ cup oil for frying prawns
• Sugar as per taste.
• Water ¾ cup
• Thinly sliced ginger & roasted sesame seeds  for garnishing

Firstly dry prawns after cleaning. Then go for marinating the prawns.

 For marinating mix prawn, pinch of salt, lemon juice, half of crushed pepper, egg & flour in a bowl.

Pour oil into oak. Wait till it is hot for fry. Then fry the prawns.  Do not put all together. You can fry 3-4 at a time as per your oak size.

After frying prawn in same oil put ginger stir for few second & add the water.

Let it boil. Then pour orange juice into water. When it will boil add all fried prawns & sugar as per your taste (because this dish tastes little tangy with sweet orangey flavour).

Add orange zest. It increases the orange flavour & makes it really yammyyy.

Make batter of 1-2tsp of flour with normal water in a separate small bowl.

Slowly add that batter into the prawn and stir it very carefully till it turns into thick gravy. It will go with rice & noodles very well.

If you want it could be use as starter. In this case dry all gravy that it makes a nice layer on prawns.

Serve it hot after garnishing with roasted til/sesame seeds & sliced ginger.
