  4. Pour 3 tbsp mustard oil in deep bottomed heavy pan and heat to smoking point. Once smoke is coming out switch off the flame and let it cool for 1 min.
  5. Add marinated golda chingri and fry each side only for 1 min. Total 2 mins together. Adjust the time for prawns you are using. Remove once done and place on large serving bowl. This will add all juices of golda chingri to final curry.
  6. In the remaining oil (add 1-2 tbsp more oil is required) add ingredients under ‘tempering oil’ and allow to crackle for 30 sec.
  7. Add ginger garlic and fry for 1-2 mins. Freshly made ginger garlic paste will also work instead of pounded.

  10. Add prawns carefully and cook for 1 min. Do not overcook; it will turn prawns rubbery and chewy.
