Remove the intestines and shells from the prawns or shrimp and place them in a bowl. In another bowl, add the flour. Add the egg and mix well. Add the salt and curry powder and mix well. Then add the yeast and gradually the mineral water. Mix everything well until it reaches a slightly runny consistency. Add the prawns to the curry mixture and submerge them until completely coated. Heat the oil in a pan for deep frying – use a wooden skewer to check if bubbles appear, then it is hot enough. Carefully lower the prawns into the oil using a fork or tongs and fry until golden brown – transfer to kitchen paper. Then place on a serving platter and season lightly with salt.
