  • Lightly pan-fry the marinated prawns until they turn pink and opaque. Set them aside.
  • Finely chop the remaining prawns and combine them in a mixing bowl with the mashed potatoes, crumbled bread slices, green chili paste, turmeric powder, roasted cumin powder, roasted coriander powder, garlic paste, ginger paste, lemon juice, and salt.

  • Thoroughly mix all the ingredients until a smooth dough forms. The bread helps bind the patties together and adds a soft texture.
  • Shape the dough into small patties using your palms. Beat an egg and brush it over both sides of each patty. This egg wash helps create a golden-brown crust when frying.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Prawn is a delicate fish and shouldn't be overcooked.
  • Prawn has a natural flavor, so avoid adding too many extra spices.

Expert Tips

  • Serve these prawn patties with a vibrant chutney or dipping sauce, such as mint-coriander chutney, sweet chili sauce, or a tangy tamarind date chutney. The contrasting flavors will elevate the dish.
  • For a lighter version, bake the patties in a preheated oven instead of frying. Lightly brush them with oil and bake until golden brown and cooked through.
  • If you’re short on time, use pre-cooked prawns. Just ensure they're thoroughly heated through during the cooking process.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover prawn patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave before serving.
