Method

Marinate the prawn with salt, 10gms of ginger garlic paste & half of the lime juice. Keep it aside for 20 minutes.

Take a flat pan, add salt, Kashmiri chili paste, ginger garlic paste, remaining lime juice, mustard oil & garam masala powder, and rub it well with your palms for a minute.

Add hung yoghurt and mix well. Your final marination is ready.

Gently squeeze the marinated prawn, add to the final marination, and mix well. Keep it aside for an hour.

Take SS skewers, and pierce in the marinated prawn on the skewers.

Take a pre-heated bhatti (charcoal bar-be-que), and cook the prawn on the bhatti for 5-6 minutes. Give it some rest and baste it with melted butter.

Again cook it on the bhatti for another 6-8 minutes.

Once the prawns are cooked, apply some melted butter, squeeze fresh lime, and sprinkle little chaat masala.

Serve it with onion rings, lime wedges & mint chutney.

Note:

Ensure the prawn is not over-cooked.
