This prawn 65 recipe is a kid friendly recipe too. You can serve prawn 65 with hot steamed rice, kids will never say no this crispy prawn recipe. They will surely love it just like prawns fry with onion.

What is prawn 65?

The spicy prawn recipe is adapted from famous chicken 65 recipe.  Just like chicken 65, people say that 65 types of ingredients were used in making the dish. But neither 65 ingredients nor 65 prawns are used in making this dish. The recipe is very easy and simple to cook and gets ready in 20 minutes.

Ingredients to make this Indian prawn appetizer recipe:

  • Prawns: Prawns or shrimps can be used in the recipe. I used medium sized prawns, you can make the recipe with small shrimps or tiger prawns too.
  • Spices: Red chili powder, turmeric powder and black pepper powder are the 3 basic spice powders used in this spicy deep-fried prawn recipe.
  • Cornflour: Cornflour is used for coating the spicy marinated prawns before deep frying. Coating prawns with cornflour makes them crispier and absorbs less oil while frying.
  • Egg white: Egg white is applied to marinated prawns before frying. Using egg white for coating prawns ensures that crust stays put and provides thicker crust.
  • Curry leaves: Curry leaves is a must in this Tamil prawn recipe. They provide an authentic South Indian flavor and taste to the recipe.
