Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Hung yogurt is the secret to a thick marinade that doesn't slide off the prawns.
  • Basting with butter during grilling ensures the prawns stay moist and get a rich shine.
  • High temperature is crucial; low heat will boil the prawns in their own juice instead of roasting.
  • Adding a pinch of black salt (kala namak) provides a deep, authentic street-food tang.
