What about fusion prawn cups, you might think! Well, this is something that I created when I was frequently asked for no fry iftar snacks. And no fry snacks are kind of demanding, as when compared to fried snacks, they are easily appreciable as they are visually appealing and your hands go grab them automatically. So I sat down to figuire out a snack that needed no oil, well, that obvioulsy includes steamed food like momos, ari unda etc. But somehow I wasn't in a mood for steamed food. And since I have been expermenting with cream ( fresh cream, cooking cream etc)  I thought I needed a break through so I came up these cups that basically uses a coconut cream/ milk base. Now if you don't like coconut cream/ milk , feel free to substitute with fresh milk/ cream, it would definetely taste good.

Since the hubster has bought a lot of samosa sheets, which he says was only available in bulk. So I somehow wanted to experiment with these samosa sheets. So there you go! That is how the cups were initiated, lol. This is the reason I have been using a samosa sheets in my other recipe, like my butter chicken parcels. Jokes apart, I love seafood and the flavor of coconut. It just goes hand in hand. Now if you ask me, why fusion? I have used ingredients like coconut milk and soy sauce that makes this a fusion snack. 

For iftar, our tablespread is quite different unlike others. We have had made it a habit since the past 3-4 Ramadan that we have our a couple dates when we open our fast. A glass of water, dry fruits and nuts, juice/laban and set of cut fruits. After which we go for our prayers, with fasts opened but light tummies. And the snacks are devoured right after the magrib prayer. After adopting this way of clean eating, we have never gone back and always try to stick to this routine. (but of course excluding some cheat days). If you have been following the same routine you are definetely doing a favor to your stomach by not dumping all the food at once into your tummy. 

Now back to the prawn cups, I initally thought of adding prawns mince to the sauce while it cooked for better flavor and texture, but since I didn't have enough prawns with me I dropped that thought. Since this is a no fry recipe, making it visually appealing is one among my targets apart from the taste that has to excel too. A sauce is prepared using coconut milk and bread crumbs, onto which we have our fried prawns and finally topped with fried coconut that is sauteed in red chilli powder. Defintely a show stopper for your iftar spread. These are eaten like pani puri, it is super Crispy and when you pop it into your mouth, it explodes like a bomb with flavors! 😍 

Now let's make some fusion Prawn Cups.
