This recipe is a very uncommon combination but is very tasty. I love this from my childhood.It was a common dish at my place. In this both snake gourd as well as bellpeppers can be used to stuff prawns mixture. I have put the pic of both.With snake gourd it gets a different taste with mild flavour of snake gourd and if stuffed in capsicum its gives different taste of capsicum. Both combinations have their own special taste. Normally i do not eat any dish made from snake gourd, as i do not like it. But i just love this dish. Its so tasty that people who do not like snake gourd will also enjoy it.Its a very good starter recipe .
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup cleaned medium size prawns
4-5 small size green bellpeppers
1 snake gourd
1 1/2 cup onions chopped finely
3/4 cup chopped tomato
2 green chillis chopped
2 table spoon chopped corainder leaves
1/2 cup besan
1/2 tea spoon chilli powder
1 table spoon lime juice
1 tea spon turmeric
2 tea spoon garam masala
salt
oil
METHOD:
Cut the snake gourd in round pieces, may be 2 inches in length.Remove all the inner seeds and pulp. Make them hollow like pipes.
Take each capsicum and chop its one end, not the end near stem but the opposite one. A hole of 1 n 1/2 inch is developed. Now remove all the seeds from it and make it hollow.Cut is always made to the end opposite stem as it makes it easier to remove the seeds.
Apply salt,lemon juice and turmeric to prawns and keep them for marination for 20 mins.
Now Heat a pan. Add 2 table spoon oil in it.Fry onions in it till soft and light brown. Then add tomatoes.Saute till they become soft.Add green chillis.Now add the marinated prawns. and cook them for some time till they are fully done. Now add salt, garam masala and mix it properly. When the whole mixture is done garnish it with coriander leaves and remove from flame. Let it cool for some time.
Now take bowl. Add besan to it. Add little salt and chilli powder.Add little water and mix it well till it forms a thick paste. It should not be thin batter.
Now take one capsicum. fill it fully with the prawns stuffing. Now seal its open end with the besan batter.Repeat the same with the remaining bell peppers.
Now take one snake gourd piece. Fill it with the prawns stuffing. Seal its both edges with the besan mixture. The mixture must be thick, it should not fall when applied.
Heat a pan. Add oil and shallow fry them on all sides till they are done.Remove them on paper to absorb oil.They can also be deep fried but i avoid it as it consumes more oil which is not good for health.
Or they can even be cooked in microwave.Brush oil on each one of them and cook them on convection mode for 10 mins and 5 mins on grill.
Serve them hot.
NOTE:I have used small size bellpeppers as they are good to stuff as well as cook. While eating also no need to cut and serve, they can be serves as whole.
If medium size prawns are not available, cut big size prawns in pieces and use.
Preparation Time:30 mins.
