Unlike regular prawn roasts that rely heavily on dry red chili powders or standard masalas, this particular recipe brings a refreshing twist to your dining table.

This is a wonderfully spicy recipe that awakens your taste buds with every single bite.

Why This Prawns Roast is Completely
What makes this green chilli prawns roast so special is its distinct flavor profile and cooking style. Traditional roasts often tend to be heavy and intensely red, but this version offers a bright, herbaceous, and intensely flavorful kick that is completely unique. The fresh heat from the green chilies blends harmoniously with the natural sweetness of juicy prawns, creating a culinary balance that is hard to resist.
Furthermore, the cooking method ensures that the prawns remain tender and juicy on the inside while absorbing all the rich, reduced masalas on the outside. It is a brilliant way to surprise your family and guests with a restaurant-quality dish made right in the comfort of your home. Whether you are pairing it with hot steaming rice, pathiri, appam, or chapatis, this dish never fails to impress.

Green Chilli Prawns Roast
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Marinate the Prawns: Clean the prawns thoroughly. In a bowl, add the prawns along with turmeric powder, pepper powder, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
- Shallow Fry the Prawns: Heat a little coconut oil in a pan and lightly shallow-fry the marinated prawns for a couple of minutes until they turn pink. Do not overcook them, or they will become rubbery. Remove and set aside.
- Prepare the Spice Paste: In a mixer grinder, coarsely grind together the green chillies, ginger, garlic, and shallots without adding much water.
- Sauté Onions and Aromatics: In the same pan with the remaining oil, add more oil if needed. Toss in a sprig of fresh curry leaves and the finely sliced onions. Sauté until the onions turn translucent and soft.
- Add the Green Chilli Paste: Add the freshly ground green chilli, ginger, garlic, and shallot paste to the sautéed onions. Sauté well until the raw smell completely disappears.
- Add Spice Powders: Lower the flame and add the fennel powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Stir continuously for a minute until the spices blend well with the mixture.
- Combine Prawns: Add the fried prawns back into the pan. Toss and mix thoroughly so that the spicy green masala coats the prawns evenly.
- Final Touch: Drizzle a teaspoon of lemon juice on top, add a few more fresh curry leaves, and mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes on low heat, then turn off the stove.
- Serve: Serve hot with steamed rice, pathiri, or chapatis!
