Ingredients

Cereal Mix:

• 1 cup cereal (original)
• 1 tbsp milk powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper
• 1 tsp sugar

Prawns:

• ½ lb prawns, trimmed, deveined, washed
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp pepper
• Vegetable oil (for frying)

Assembly:

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup curry leaves
• 2 curly chili red peppers, cut into diagonal pieces
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

1. Prepare the Cereal Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the cereal, milk powder, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
2. Marinate and Batter the Prawns: In another bowl, mix together the lime juice, egg, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the mixture is somewhat thick. This will be your prawn batter.
3. Fry the Prawns: Heat a good amount of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, dip each prawn into the batter and carefully place it in the oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, then remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. Cook the Aromatic Ingredients: In the same pan, reduce the oil if necessary, then add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, curry leaves, and red chili peppers. Sauté until fragrant.
5. Toss in Cereal Mix: Add the prepared cereal mix to the pan. Stir and cook until the butter is absorbed and the cereal is toasty and golden.
6. Combine Prawns with Cereal: Add the fried prawns back into the pan. Toss everything together to ensure the prawns are well coated with the cereal mix.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy the delightful mix of textures and flavors!
