Expert Tips for the Best Iral Varuval:
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the marinade.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the prawns; fry them in batches to ensure even browning.
- For a crispier prawn fry, let the prawns rest on a wire rack after frying to drain excess oil.
