Clean, shell and devein the prawns, keeping the tail intact. Make
a small slit along the back of each prawn and marinate with lime juice and
salt. Apply ginger-garlic paste and sprinkle black cumin on top. Keep aside for
five minutes and sprinkle yellow chilli powder.
Mix grated cheese, saffron, egg and coriander leaves. Stuff each
prawn with a little of the filling. Roll in cornstarch and insert wooden sticks
through the tail to hold shape.

heat until done. Sprinkle chaat masala and a little lime juice.
