Tandoori Prawn with Cucumber Bite

These bite-sized Tandoori Prawn Cucumber Bites are ideal for easy entertaining. Juicy prawns are seasoned with MA’s Kitchen Tandoori Masala, cooked quickly in a pan, and served on crisp cucumber slices with fresh coriander and lime. They are a light, flavourful appetizer that comes together in minutes. The cool cucumber balances the spice. Each piece is a single bite, which makes them easy to eat while standing and talking.   

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients 

  • 12.5g MA’s Kitchen Tandoori Masala 
  • 100 g curd 
  • 10 –12 medium-sized prawns 
  • 2 cucumbers, 1 ½ cm thick slices  
  • Lime juice 
  • Coriander leaves, chopped 
  • salt 

 

Cooking Steps

  1. Mix MA’s Kitchen Tandoori Masala with curd and marinate the prawns 
  2. Grill in an oven over live coals/BBQ or in an open pan 
  3. Add a cooked prawn on top of each cucumber slice. Squeeze a little lime, garnish with more coriander. 
  4. For a variation, mash avocado with cumin and lemon and use it between the prawn and cucumber slice. 

     

If you’re preparing for a party, you can do most of the work before guests arrive. Slice the cucumber, make the topping, and marinate the prawns. Cook the prawns last since they take only a few minutes. For a different presentation, thread them onto small skewers and serve them as tandoori prawn skewers.
