Golden Turmeric Garlic-Infused Tandoori Prawns Succulent tiger prawns are marinated overnight in a lush blend of yogurt, freshly pounded garlic, ginger, Kashmiri chili, and a hint of mustard oil. Skewered and charred in the tandoor, the prawns take on a smoky aroma while the garlic caramelizes to release its natural sweetness. Finished with a drizzle of garlic- butter glaze and a sprinkle of chaat masala, this starter delivers a perfect balance of heat, tang, smokiness, and that unmistakable lahsuni punch.
