As my husband has European friends I have to make food according to their style. As they are not used to spicy food. This recipe of prawns grill is not a Continental dish but Europeans also enjoy this when they come here. Since they are not used with spicy food as mentioned above I used less spice. In this recipe, I have used turmeric powder, Kashmiri chilly powder and garam masala Which you don’t find in any Continental dishes. But nowadays many Europeans have started using turmeric in their everyday lives. You know one thing, one of our European friend take mild hot water with turmeric and lemon daily morning before breakfast. So he always needs turmeric from India whenever we go there or when he comes here. He is a very health-conscious person and tells me about the benefits of turmeric and lemon( that even I wasn't aware of)

Some dishes improve their taste when kept for some time. But this one has to be served hot so that the tenderness of the prawns can be felt. Reheating will make it harder. So today I want to share with you how to grill prawns in the oven.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Butterfly prawns and devein it. (Cut open prawns top portion and remove the black vein)
  2. Mix all the ingredients for marination in a blender
  3. Marinate prawns and keep it for 1 to 2 hours. Put each prawn in a skewer sticks.No problem if you don’t have skewer sticks just do it as it is.
  4. Grease a tray or dish with oil and place it. Cook it in a microwave or griller until done. Overcooking leads to shrinkage. It usually takes 3to 4 minutes and it varies with the size of prawns and the type of oven you are using.

Conclusion

Recipe note
I haven’t used water to cook prawns.

Sometimes I wish if I was in Italy. Not because I didn’t like my Gods own country, but for the simplicity of cooking. Most of the Italian dishes takes only minutes to prepare. But in Kerala you know for lunch normally we have to spend one or two hours in the kitchen. Sometimes I feel lazy to spend so many hours for breakfast, lunch, evening snack and dinner.
This spaghetti I tasted from a restaurant in Italy. My son Kris’s godparents are Italian Nicola and Mina. So Our kumbari’s are Italian. This restaurant is owned by Mina’s mother Luciana who is in her 80’s who still cooks in her restaurant. The dish was super delicious as it’s cooked in a traditional way by Luciana. It contained all the flavors added.
Italian dishes are simple yet elegant.

  3. Add salt and olive oil into the water. Olive oil is added so that the spaghetti doesn’t stick together.
