Spring Onion Bhaji with Prawns

Spring Onion Bhaji with Prawns

As simple as can be, the recipe for this Spring Onion Bhaji with Prawns was shared to me by my friend Betty Pires. It is a bhaji preparation where the prawns retain their flavours and the crunchy spring onions complement the prawns well. It can be served as a side or eaten with chapatis.

Serves: 2 Persons

Prep. Time: 15 Mins.

Cooking Time: 10 to 12 Mins.

Ingredients:

  • Spring Onion – 2 medium sized bunches
  • Prawns (cleaned & deveined) – 100 gms (cleaned)
  • Light Green Chillies (slit) – 1 to 2
  • Coconut (grated) – 2 tbsp.
  • Oil – 1 to 2 tbsp.
  • Salt – ½ tsp. or to taste

Step 1:     Apply ¼ tsp. salt to the prawns and keep aside.

Step 2:     Wash the spring onion and drain well. Cut and separate the white and green parts. Chop each of them fine and keep separately.

  • Do the overcook the vegetable as it will lose its crunch.
