Inspired by the ancient cuisine of Indian kings and queens, this from Appam Restaurant's owner-chef Irene Trias bursts with exotic flavors, yet it is light, refreshing and very kind to the heart.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pounds fresh prawns, rinsed, peeled and deveined
1 cup plain lowfat yogurt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
6 whole green cardamom, crushed
2 tablespoons freshly minced garlic
2 tablespoons freshly minced ginger
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)
1 tablespoon tumeric
2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place prawns in a shallow baking dish. In a large bowl, mix remaining ingredients together. Pour half the sauce mixture over the prawns, completely coating them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Grill prawns over hot coals or on a wire rack in a baking pan in a preheated 350°F oven until they turn pink, about 5 minutes on each side. Brush the remaining sauce mixture onto the prawns as they cook. Serve promptly.
