Prawns are considered as the best and most healthiest sea-food as they are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. They also contain proteins (amino acid) which are the building blocks of muscles.

The best way to prepare king prawns is as follows:

Ingredients

For the sake of perfection, we can prepare this recipe for 4-6 persons.

I)          18-20 king prawns.

II)         4 tbsps. of curd.

III)        ½ tsp. of black pepper powder.

IV)        1 chopped red capsicum.

V)         ¾ tsp. fenugreek seeds powder.

VI)        1 bunch chopped coriander leaves.

VII)       1 ½ tsp. ginger paste.

VIII)      10 sliced almonds.

IX)        2 tbsps. of oil.

Method

2)         Heat the oil, fry fenugreek seeds and cinnamon and then onion till golden brown.

3)         Add garlic paste, red chilli powder and chopped capsicum and fry for 3-4 minutes stirring all the time and remove the heat.
