👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Clean and devein the prawns, then pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, mustard oil, turmeric, red chili powder, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and salt until well combined.
3. Add the prawns to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best flavor.
4. Preheat your grill, oven broiler, or a non-stick pan to medium-high heat. If using skewers, thread the marinated prawns onto them.
5. Cook the prawns for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink, opaque, and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become tough.
6. Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of fresh coriander, if desired.
