¼ cup Hung Curd
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger Garlic Paste (heaping )
1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
1 teaspoon Coriander Powder (heaping )
¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder
½ teaspoon Garam Masala Powder
1 Lemon (Juice of)
Salt to taste
12 Prawns (deveined and cleaned (I used Medium sized))
2 tablespoons Butter (Melted)
1 Mango (ripe ,peeled and chopped for the Mango Chutney)
1 Lemon (Juice of)
A pinch of salt
2 teaspoons Coriander (chopped)
½ teaspoon Chili Flakes (optional)
Chat Masala and chopped Coriander for Garnish

Steps:

  • Add all the ingredients listed under marinade to a bowl, and combine.
  • Add prawns to the marinade and set aside. I recommend marinating these for at least half an hour and up to two hours for better flavor.
  • In the meanwhile, to make the mango chutney, blend mangoes, lemon juice and salt in a blender till pureed. Add the chopped coriander and pulse for 5 seconds till you see bright green specks. Sprinkle with chili flakes if using.
  • Oven Method
  • Once the prawns have finished marinating, pre-heat oven to 220 degree celcius.
  • Skewer the prawns using the equipment provided with your oven, brush them with melted butter and grill for 10-12 minutes. Brush once more at 5 minutes and then right before serving.
  • Stovetop Method
  • Alternatively, if you don't have an oven, heat a grill pan on the stove. Add some butter to the pan.
  • Once hot, arrange prawns on the pan so that they don't overlap and sear on high heat for a minute on either side.
  • After one minute, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 more minutes. Prawns cook pretty quickly so be careful about the cooking time. Brush once more with butter right before serving.
  • To Serve
  • Sprinkle with chat masala and chopped coriander and serve with the mango chutney.

  • Cook the prawns over high heat: High heat will help to char the prawns and give them a smoky flavor. If you are using a grill, preheat it to high heat before cooking the prawns.
  • Baste the prawns with the marinade while cooking: This will help to keep the prawns moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the prawns immediately: Tandoori Tikka King Prawns are best served hot off the grill. Garnish with fresh cilantro or mint leaves for added flavor and color.
