Ingredients
  

  • lb (750 g) raw king prawns
  • 4 oz (125 g) plain flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg, separated
  • ¼ pint (150 ml) coconut milk
  • Oil, for deep-frying
  • #Mango Sauce#
  • 4 large ripe mangoes
  • 2fl oz (50 ml) water
  • 1½ oz (40 g) caster sugar
  • Pinch of ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel the prawns, leaving the tails on, and take out the black vein that runs along the back of each prawn. Leave the prawns in a cool place, covered, while you make the batter and sauce.
  • To make the batter, put the flour, salt and olive oil into a bowl and make a well in the center. Whisk the egg yolk with the coconut milk, and gradually add to the flour, beating well. Cover and set aside.
  • To make the mango sauce, peel the mangoes and remove the stones. Cut up the flesh and process in a food processor or blender, then turn into a saucepan, add the water and stir over a low heat until blended. Cover and simmer for 15—20 minutes until thickened. Stir in the sugar, spices, lime juice and salt and leave to cool.
  • Whisk the egg white until stiff and fold into the batter. Add the prawns. Heat the oil for deep-frying to 190°C 375ºF) and fry the prawns, in batches, until golden brown. Remove and drain on absorbent kitchen paper. Serve immediately with the sauce.
