Ingredients for Prawn Pre-Preparation:

1/2 cup Prawn
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chilly Powder
Salt
Water

Ingredients for Onion Masala:

Seven medium finely chopped Onion
Three finely chopped Green Chilly
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
Salt
1/4 cup Coriander Leaves

Ingredients for Dough and Prawn Kozhukattai:

1.5 cup Rice Flour
2 tbsp Ghee
3/4 tsp Salt
1 cup Thick Coconut Milk
1.5 tbsp Ghee

Step 1 – Prawn Pre-Preparation:

Let’s prepare fried prawns in this step. Take a vessel and get ready with 1/2 cup of prawn, 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp of red chilly powder, and the required salt. Sprinkle some water to this mixture and mix it well. Turn on the flame with medium heat and cook for 5-6 minutes till the water dries. Don’t forget to stir it occasionally during the cooking time. Now Prawn pre-preparation is done, and keep the stuff aside.

Step 2 – Making Onion Masala:

Take 2 tbsp of Oil and heat it at medium heat. Add finely chopped seven onions and three green chilly. Mix it and add 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder with required salt. Fry it for 5 to 6 minutes till raw smell goes out. At the end of this step, add 1/4 cup of coriander leaves and mix it well. Turn off the flame as the onion masala is ready.

Step 3 – Dough Preparation:

This recipe is like a Bread. So let’s prepare dough for it. Take 1.5 cups of rice flour, 2 tbsp of ghee, and 3/4 tsp of salt in a vessel. Add the prepared prawn and onion masala to it. Mix it slightly. Initially, start adding 1/2 cup of thick coconut milk and knead it well with hand. Later add 1/4 cup of thick coconut milk each for two batches. The purpose of not adding in a go is to make like dough and not batter (liquid). No need to say further; knead it to make a dough at the end.

Step 4 – Makling Prawn Kozhukattai:

Take a pressure cooker and grease it with 1 tbsp of ghee. Dump the prepared dough with hand in such a way to get it as round shaped baked bread. Make 4 to 5 holes with a spoon so that the heat spreads quickly during cooking.

Apply rest of the 1/2 tsp of ghee on top. Close the lid without weight and cook for 25 minutes with low heat and turn off the flame. Let it cool down, and prawn kozhukattai is ready to enjoy!
