Tangra Style Crispy Fried Prawns - Piping Hot, Straight From The Wok

By
During my visit at the Tangra Food Festival @JW Marriott, Bengaluru, I gathered a lot of information regarding the Tangra cuisine and its heritage. The Chinese culture has so much influence on the Tangra cuisine that it has its distinct flavour and its still carried on even after centuries.


I loved this golden fried prawns that they showed as a demo in the JW Kitchen. Absolutely subtle yet distinct flavors.


On my next visit to Kolkata I surely do want to visit the East of Kolkata to get a sense of the Kolkatian with Chinese influence. I also wish to purchase some locally produced sauces. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one!!!

Sharing with you the recipe of this lovely dish. Just a few ingredients and one great dish.


Ingredients:

1/2 kgs prawns, washed and cleaned
1 cup corn flour
1 cup refined flour, 
1 tbsp baking soda, 
Salt and white pepper to taste,

2-3 tbsp freshly green chillies
