PRAWNS RENDANG FRIED (MINANGKABAU CUISINE)
(Rendang is a spicy meat dish. Originated from Indonesia. Rendang is usually not considered as curry since it contains less gravy/liquid. I have used this method for frying prawns.

Ingredients
(serving for 2)
1. Prawns 12 pieces. (cleaned and deveined)
2. Salt to taste
3.  Sugar (optional)

4. Ginger 1 cm peeled
5. Galangal 1cm peeled
6. Turmeric 1 cm peeled
7. Dry chilies 4 seeded
8. Thai chilies 3 seeded
9. Coriander powder 2 tsp
10. Cumin powder 1 tsp.
11. Fennel powder 1 tsp
12. Chili powder (BABAS)

Preparation
1. Combine ingredients for spice paste in a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Add prawns, salt and sugar and spice paste in a bowl and mix well.
3. Heat oil in a pan. Shallow fry the prawns until it swirl up completely, once it swirled it means they are cooked thoroughly.
4. Serve with hot rice or chappati.
