Sweet Potato PrawnCutlet

Prawn makes anything taste better.An appetizing,crispy,spicy and lightly sweet cutlets with seamless combination of spices which is relevant with a cup of hot tea.Here you can easily substitute the sweet potato with potatoes if you don’t like it’s sweetness.

 First time i’m trying Sweet Potato in spicy version.Always i ate steamed one with coconut milk and some sugar that too from India.I never picked it from here. This one hubby bought,that too many of them and i have no idea what can i make with it!Hehe!He said to batter fry it after i made this one.Still one more left so i should try it for him.I know it’s sweet and we both don’t like sweet taste in spicy food.I will manage some how but he noway!!

Not at all  sure while making this if we like it or not,mainly i was fasting and i can’t even taste it before coating!!But frankly i loved it when it’s served hot.Hubby said it’s nice but he can’t have it like the one with potatoes.So if you like sweet potato i’m sure you will love this,or else make this prawn cutlet with potato.

I love to experiment appetizers / finger food.I started cooking with the snacks and desserts.I used to enter the kitchen when its calm and quiet that is when everyone is napping after the lunch!hehe!Then make something that i can do for the evening snacking!

Here prawns are not cooked separately and added in masala,but cooked everything in one pan along with masala. So it has got a delicious prawn flavor.Over to the recipe
