Preparation:
The Prawns
1. Grind together the chilies, coconut, coriander seeds and garlic to make masala paste. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok and stir fry the masala paste till well done. You want to get the raw spice taste out of it. You should start smelling the aromas of the corriander, garlic and chilies as the paste cooks on a medium flame. Take care not burn the coconut. Add the prawns to this mixture and coat them well with the spice mixture. Fry this well till the prawns are well done. Season with salt.
2. Arrange a bed of the pre marinated cucumbers on a serving plate and arrange your spicy prawns on top of that.
3. Serve while the prawns are hot. The heat and spice of the prawns with the cold cucumber is an excellent combination.
The cucumber salad
Prepare the cucumber salad first so that it can marinate while you make the prawns. In a mixing bowl add all the lemon juice, sugar and corriander to the cucumber and let it rest in the fridge while you make the prawns.
