Iles Flotantes - Floating Island 

The recipe calls for cornstarch that has to be added to the whisked meringue, but I completely forgot to add it. But there was no issues in holding its shapes Coming to the flavor, practically speaking we all have vanilla essence at our homes, but I'd rather go for the vanilla pod next time I try the dessert. But guys I was literally amazed by the technique of poaching the meringue in the hot milk. Aaaahh! The inventions people come up with, truly genius! The rich creme anglaise and the meringue is a match made in heaven. It's unreal how a few ingredients like literally 4 ingredients and you can make an easy and delicious dessert in a jiffy.

• 250 gms cleaned and deviened prawns 
• 1/2 tsp Garlic paste
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder

• 1 tbsp Corn flour
• 1 tsp Maida
• Roughly chopped curry leaves 
• Salt, as required 
• 5 tbsp coconut oil

1. Marinate the ingredients with the cleaned prawns and allow to marinate for 15 minutes. 
2. In a kadai, heat coconut oil and fry the coated prawns for 3 minutes each side and no more.
3. Drain oil from the fried prawns and serve immediately. Tastes best and crispier when piping hot!

• The marination might look a little off red due to cornflour, but once you drop them in oil, the color of the prawns change to red immediately.
• For larger prawns, increase frying time to 2 minutes extra. 
• Add adequate amount of salt to bring out the best of flavors 
• The ingredients might sound minimal but allow seafood to play its own magic and you won't regret! 😋
