2. Clean the prawns properly after removing their shells and deveining them.
3. Devein the prawns properly. Each prawn has a vein on its back, which needs to be removed prior to cooking by making a slit on the back and cleaning it.
4. You can either keep or exclude the prawn head as you wish. Its edible.
5. Now the prawns should be washed three or four times properly with water. Then drain the water and keep it in a bowl.

2. Now add an egg in the same bowl, beat it well, and make a batter. It would be better to mix the batter with egg alone without water.

Step III: Frying

2. Dip the prawns one by one in the prepared batter and add to the pan for frying. However, fry the prawns in small batches so that they do not stick to each other.
3. Fry both sides of the prawns for 1 minute each on low flame, till they get a golden color.
4. Take the beautiful crispy golden fried prawns out of the pan and serve hot.
