Ingredients

Prawn cutlets
8 green prawns
seasoned flour
1 egg, beaten
1 tblsp milk
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup peanut oil
1 slice green ginger
 salted iced water
 
 

Curry sauce
1 tblsp butter
1 onion, finely diced
2 tsp curry powder
1 red chilli, finely chopped

Method

Peel the green prawns, leaving the tails intact. Cut ¾ through the prawns down the back, remove intestinal tract, and rinse in salted iced water. Press each prawn to form a cutlet shape and allow to drain.

Beat the egg and milk together. Dip each prawn in flour, then the egg mixture. Coat with shredded coconut.

Heat the peanut oil in a wok and add the slice of fresh ginger. Cook the prawn cutlets until the tails turn pink and the shredded coconut is lightly browned. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper before serving with curry sauce.

Curry sauce
Melt the butter in a saucepan and cook the finely chopped onions for 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, curry powder and chilli. Cook for 1 minute. Blend in the chicken stock and stir until smooth. Add the chutney and cook for a further 2 minutes. Serve hot or cold.
