Clean and de-vein the prawn and set it ready. In a blender add the prawns, and coconut along with all the ingredients mentioned in the “To grind” table.
Now take the ground mix to a big bowl and add in the Rice flour, Chopped onions, Coriander leaves, Curry Leaves, and Fennel Seeds. Combine all the ingredients evenly.
Divide the dough into equal sized small shaped balls and flatten them. Heat oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot drop in 4-5 Vada’s per batch and start frying.
Fry until the fritters are crisp and golden brown. Remove them from oil and drain them in paper towels to absorb excess oil. Yummy shrimp vadai is now ready.

Notes
The cooking time may depend on the size of vada you make.
Mine was very small bite sized vada’s as my little one prefers it this way. So Adjust the shape as per your preference.
Frying the vada in coconut oil makes it more delicious.
Add in few curry leaves and Red Chilli in the oil while frying it brings in a nice flavour.
