This prawn recipe is delicious served as a main or side with any Curry, Biryani, Rice, Roti or Paratha.
For sides:
Kachumber Salad

storage

Fridge - Prawn recipes are best eaten fresh. At a push, they can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two. 
Reheating Prawns usually makes them a little tougher. If you need to reheat leftovers. you can add a splash of water to a pan and reheat them slowly until warmed through.
You can reheat them in the microwave too.
I would not recommend freezing cooked prawns. 

tips and hints

  • Prawns require very little cooking. Over cooking makes them rubbery and tough. 
  • A squeeze of Lemon Juice before serving helps to bring the flavours together.
