    The Prawn
  • Shell, retain tails, de-vein, wash and pat dry.

    The First Marination
  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl, rub prawns with this marinade and reserve for 15 minutes. Squeeze prawns gently between palms to remove excess moisture. Keep chilled.

    The Second Marination
  • Grate cheese. Put yoghurt cheese in bowl, add remaining ingredients and whisk. Rub prawns with this marinade and refrigerate for an hour.

    Cooking
  • Skewer the prawns, keeping a tray underneath to collect the drippings, or arrange in a greased roasting tray. Roast in a moderately hot tandoor for 5 minutes(if grilled on a charcoal grill, about same time). Remove and hang the skewers to allow the excess moisture to drip off (appox. 2 minutes), baste with butter and roast again for 4 minutes (about the same time on char grill).
  • Remove from the skewer and serve with desired garnishes.
