Prawn Fry / Chemmeen Porichathu is a spicy fry in South Indian style using Gambooge (Kudampuli). This can be a starter and can be eaten with boiled rice and Roti.

Prawns have lots of Vitamin B (Boosts Immunity), low in fat, rich in protein, Zinc, Iron and Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 lowers blood triglycerides, which are linked to heart disease and stroke. But at the same time they are said to be high with cholesterol content also. So prawns can be a recipe for special occasions only and not recommended for a daily diet.
Try and enjoy the prawn fry!!!
