Recipe for prawns tawa fried with a spicy masala paste made from scratch. Recipe with detailed video.
I got inspired to try prawn fry on a tawa the way it’s done in Puthur Jayaram Hotel. The “irumbu dosai kallu” (iron tawa) roasts and caramelises the fresh ground masala along with the prawns. The prawns are then tossed with a simple sauteed onion tomato mixture. Once the prawns are roasted well, it’s finished with a generous sprinkling of black pepper, cumin and curry leaves. The resultant prawn fry is delicious in every bite and goes really well as a side dish with rice.

Here is the video of how to make Prawn Fry
For The Masala Paste
2 pods country garlic (use 1 pod if regular garlic) 1/2 inch ginger 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon Kashmiri red chilli powder 2 teaspoon coriander powder 2 tablespoon water
For Sauteed Onion And Tomatoes
2 teaspoon Indian sesame oil 1/2 cup onions, chopped 1/2 cup tomatoes, chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt
Other Ingredients
5 tablespoon Indian sesame oil (divided) 500 grams prawns (medium) 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder 2 sprigs curry leaves few tablespoons water to deglaze the pan
First, let us make a masala paste for the prawn fry. Take a small mixie jar or a blender and add in the country garlic. Country garlic is preferred for this recipe. If you cannot source country garlic, you can use regular garlic. Add in the roughly chopped ginger. Add some red chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder, salt, Kashmiri red chilli powder (mainly for the bright red colour), coriander powder and little water. Cover the mixie jar and grind this mixture to a really smooth paste. Pulse the mixie several times to make sure that the garlic and ginger is finely pureed. Set aside.
Heat a wide cast iron griddle and add in some oil. Add the cleaned prawns to the griddle. Medium or small prawns are preferred for this recipe. Roast the prawns on the griddle for about a couple of minutes. Once roasted, make a small well in the centre and add in some oil. Add in the ground paste to the griddle. Slowly fry the paste on the griddle while tossing the prawns along. Roast well for two to three minutes till the prawn fry looks dry. Add little oil mid way so the paste fries up and caramelises.
We also need to make a sauteed onion tomato mixture for this recipe and here is how to do it. Heat a little oil in a pan and add in the chopped onions. Add the chopped tomatoes along. Add some salt and mix well to combine. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on a low flame for about three to four minutes. The tomatoes must get soft and mushy. The onions should be cooked to a soft texture too.
Add the sauteed onion tomato mixture to the griddle. Mix everything well to combine and roast everything for a couple of minutes more.
Once roasted add a few tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan and to get all the masalas and flavour bits sticking to the griddle.
At this stage add some black pepper powder. Add some cumin powder and finally a generous sprinkling of curry leaves. Mix everything well to combine.
Our fantastic prawn fry is ready. It tastes divine with some hot white rice. Enjoy!

When you think of casinos, you instantly think of the fun you’ll have playing the games on-site, right? From slot games to poker rooms, these venues are a gambler’s paradise. However, nowadays, casinos are all about providing an excellent all-round experience. And many of them now contain Michelin star restaurants on site.
Paco Roncero Restaurante – Casino de Madrid We begin this list of Michelin-star casino restaurants that are worth checking out with a trip into Europe to visit the Paco Roncero Restaurante. The restaurant, which is on the top floor of the Casino de Madrid, is full of exuberance and charm, and head chef Paco Roncero explores Spanish cuisine in a fun way. When visiting, you get a multi-course tasting menu for lunch or dinner, with character and theatrics thrown in for good measure. Of course, eating at such a place or a casino, in general, can often be an occasional treat, and punters can save up by playing online slots at home for a while.
Sichuan Moon – Macau Wynn Palace Of all the Michelin star casino restaurants to appear on this list, Sichaun Moon, which is available at the Wynn Palace in Macau, is not only one of the newest, but it’s one of the best too. Led by head chef Andre Chiang, Sichuan Moon delivers authentic food from the Sichuan region with all the spices and fragrances you could dream of. And, to show just how great the food is, it’s the only place currently to have two Michelin stars to its name for producing its chosen cuisine. So, if you’re at the Wynn Palace in Macau, you can’t afford to miss out on eating at Sichuan Moon at least once.
Waku Ghin – Marina Bay Sands Next up is a trip to Singapore and the world’s most expensive city. And, at the Marina Bay Sands Casino, there is one of the largest Swarovski chandeliers in the world, which shows you that luxury, elegance and all that good stuff runs through it. So, it will come as no surprise that on-site is the Waku Chin restaurant, a Michelin-starred dining opportunity provided by the acclaimed Tetsuya Wakuda . There are two sittings per evening, with only twenty-five lucky guests at a time getting the chance to experience the iconic tasting menu.
Le Louis XV – Casino Monte Carlo Le Louis XV isn’t exactly a casino restaurant in the sense it isn’t inside a gaming venue. But, this Alain Ducasse Michelin-starred restaurant is next door, and it doesn’t have just one Michelin star to its name but three. Everyone naturally associates the Monte Carlo region with luxury, and rightly so. Therefore, it’s fitting for Le Louis XV to be based there. What’s also telling about this restaurant, in particular, is that a lot of the plates are inspired by the French Riviera, so there’s that authenticity that many look for when enjoying fine dining.
