Tandoori Prawns Diabetic Friendly Recipes

TANDOORI PRAWN RECIPE

Steps:

• First defrost prawns by either keeping them in water at room temperature water for 30 minutes or transfer the frozen prawns in the fridge compartment from the freezer. This will also thaw the prawns for using them the next day.
• Next, add and mix all ingredients listed above in a big bowl and add thawed prawns in that bowl. Keep them in the marinade for 10 minutes if you are in hurry. However If you have time, keeping these marinated prawns for longer than hour would make tandoori prawns even tastier.
• After that skew these prawns on to skewers and cook them using any of the above mentioned methods. You can use an oven or grill on a stove top as per your choice. Both processes are explained below:
• Preheat the oven at 200C.
• Brush marinated prawns with oil and grill for 10 Minutes. Actual time may vary from 9-12 minutes depending on the size of prawns you are using.
• Brush them with melted butter after cooking for that extra flavor if you like that, or serve them hot as it is.
• If you do not want to use an oven, simply make them over stove top.
• Heat a grill pan brush it with oil. When it is hot, place marinated prawn skewers and grill on medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Then increase the heat and allow them to cook till they are slightly charred for that smoky flavour.
• Once done, sprinkle some chaat masala and serve them with sauce/chutney of your choice.
