Prawn Balls

Take 10 to 12 pieces of prawns in a bowl. Add a little bit of water.
Put ½ tsp of regular table salt to it. Mix nicely and keep it aside for 5 minutes.
Now, drain the water. Lay the prawns on a piece of tissue paper to dry.
Cut off the tails. Keep them aside on a plate.
Chop the flesh into smaller pieces.
Put them in a grinder. Blend them.
Transfer the paste to a bowl. Add ½ tsp of salt, ½ tsp of sugar, and ¼ tsp of white pepper powder.
Mix nicely until well combined. Keep it aside for 5 minutes to set.
Take 2/3 cup of bread crumbs in a bowl.
Take 2/3 cup of cornstarch or flour in another bowl.
Crack 1 egg in another. Whisk it.
Now, scoop out a spoonful of prawn paste. Put it in your hand and flatten it.
Put 1 tail. Wrap the prawn paste around it to make a ball.
Coat the ball with cornstarch.
Then coat it with egg.
Finally, coat it with the bread crumbs evenly from all sides.
Keep it aside on a plate. Repeat steps 12 to 16 to make all the balls.
Heat an adequate amount of cooking oil in a kadai or a deep-frying pan on a high flame. Reduce the flame when hot. Put each prawn ball in it carefully.
Flip and fry them until golden brown. Remove them. Put them on absorbent paper to soak the excess oil.
Chop a handful of fresh lettuce finely. Spread them evenly on a plate.
Lay your tasty, homemade prawn balls on it and serve them hot with a small bowl of mayonnaise.
