This dish is best made with fresh prawns, if you can get them.
12-16 prawns-the largest you can get, and certainly not less

1 egg
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Salt and pepper
6  tbs breadcrumbs or plain flour
Vegetable oil

Beat the egg, add the ground coriander, and season with salt and peper. Shell and wash the prawns, dry them, and put them into the beaten egg. Heat the oil in a wok frying-pan. Coat the prawns with breadcrumbs or flour, and fry them 3 or 4 at a time. As a variation, you can fill the prawns with slices of ham. Hold the prawns upside down and slit it lengthwise, taking care not to cut completely through. Put in a slice of ham, spinkle it with pepper and salt, close the prawns, and dip it in the beaten egg. Continue as above-coat with breadcrumbs or flour, and fry.
