Not everyone will automatically use MCM Assam Sauce when it comes to fried dishes. However, we at MCM believes that cooking should all be about experimentation. So, we found this recipe, Crispy Chili Fried Prawns, at allrecipes.co.uk. The ingredients are simple enough.
1. Oil, for deep frying
2. 125gm plain flour
3. 2 tablespoons chili powder
4. 3 teaspoons salt
5. 500gm prawns, heads removed
6. 1/2 lemon, quartered
Well, why don't we alter this recipe a little bit. Instead of chili powder, we substitute it with 2 to 3 tablespoons of MCM Assam Sauce. Take out the lemon, because Assam Sauce is quite sour as it is. But, if you prefer it to be sourish, then go ahead with the lemon. Lastly, add garnishing such as coriander or parsley.
Method:
1. Heat deep-fryer to 180 - 190 degrees Celsius.
2. In a bowl, mix flour, Assam Sauce, and salt together.
3. Coat prawns with flour mixture and deep-fry in batches; cook for a minute or two until they look crispy. Remove excess oil by draining in kitchen paper towel.
4. Serve warm with coriander/parsley as garnishing.
Enjoy your experiment!
