Prawn bhajis
Prawn bhajis are delicious little snacks that you will probably have to make a double batch of. The prawn and fresh fresh herbs compliment each other so perfectly that you will need every ounce of willpower not to hide them from everybody you made them for. Prawn bhajis or sometimes known as pakoras can also be made using fish or vegetables but whatever type you make, you must have a good chutney to dip them in or a sweet chili sauce. This makes about 2 dozen bite size bhajis.
What you need
600g peeled and deveined prawns chopped
1/2 cup flour
1 medium onion finely chopped
3 or 4 green chilis finely sliced
Palm of finely chopped fresh coriander (2 to 3 tablespoons)
Pinch of bicarb of soda
water
Salt and pepper
Oil for frying
The process
In a bowl add the flour and then about 2 tablespoons of water. Mix it to a thick batter. If you need slightly more water add another 1 tablespoon. It must be thick and mixed smooth. Use a fork to work out any lumps.
Add all the rest of the ingredients and season with a grind of salt and pepper and mix to distribute everything evenly.
Heat about 5cm of oil in a pot or frying pan to medium hot, not smoking. To test, drop a cube of bread in the oil and give it 15 seconds and if it is browned and not burned it is the correct heat.
Now take tablespoons of the mixture and drop them into the oil. Fry until golden and irresistable.
Serve with Chutney as an anytime snack. Try the Kerala country chicken recipe for a perfectly rounded off Indian food meal.

So instead of helping you simply remove my comments. some people wont even admit they are wrong. how childish.
No… Been fishing in Mozambique!
CUPS ? Freaking cups. big cups, little cups, round cups, square cups, yellow cups, blue cups, buttercups, double d cups. how long is a piece of string? you catch my drift. sorry if nobody else has this problem im English, maybe its just us.
Read previous comment, 250ml cup filled with flour
And dont say look at the conversion table because it converts cups into ML. which is a measurement of liquid!!!! Flour is not liquid.

How much is a cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup. everywhere says something different, i just want to know how much flour to the rest of the ingredients? why put grams for prawns and cups for flour? just give me the flour in grams it makes no sense. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGG HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeelllp
Hello angry chef, I see you left quite a few comments and no I am not ignoring or removing your comments, I have been in Mozambique fishing since Tuesday. It’s just the way I cook, 1 cup of flour is a 250ml cup filled with flour, prawns are always measured in grams where I buy them so It makes sense to me, sorry if it’s confusing but I can’t think of any easier way to explain it bar actually weighing a cup of flour!
Cool, thanks for replying. its just any recipe from a Non uk website measures many things in cups. which would be fine if a cup was a cup anywhere in the world but having looked on many websites from many countries a cup can be a different measurement in different parts of the world. quite frustrating
Love to see a happy chef now, enjoy the Bhajis. Cheers for now G
