Salt and pepper prawns with tomato salad
hello friends,
m sad as well as happy and also scared... sad bcoz my colg lyf has almost cum 2 n end. i yearn for those lovely days, which now are jsst memories. happy coz in the free tym wll b able 2 cook more and spend it according to my own wish. and worried becoz the original game of life begins from here. with placements knocking at the door, m trying my level best to keep them out of my mind. to celebrate thi bizzare state of mind i had invited two of my close college pals for lunch the other day. i knew that i would be cooking for them, and will make something different yet savory, but has to be fulfilling.
i decided to go oriental. the menu was.... Salt and pepper prawns with tomato salad,stir fried noodles with chickens(recipe was given before only), and met balls with orange and red chillies. desert was different. i made my version of chocolate truffles with cocoa powder. the food was perfect spicy to complement the cold afternoons.... and we all had a bawl. well, now here m giving you the recipe for the starter.............

it turned out to be much better than what i had expected them to be. light, crispy, golden brown. and the salad added that right bit of zing to it.
try it!!!!!!! and m sure that everyone will love it. i had served two prawns with the salad, the quantity to serve depends on you.
