Description ::
This one is an example of seafood tandoori....

Shell the prawns, retain tails, de-vein, wash and pat dry.

The First Marination:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, rub prawns with this marinade and keep for half an hour. Squeeze prawns gently between palms to remove excess moisture. Keep chilled.

The Second Marination:
Grate cheese. Put yoghurt & cream in a  bowl, add remaining ingredients and whisk. Rub prawns with this marinade and refrigerate for an hour.

Cooking:
Skewer the prawns, keeping a tray underneath to collect the drippings, or arrange in a greased roasting tray. Grill for about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and hang the skewers to allow the excess moisture to drip off . Baste with butter and grill again for 4 minutes
Remove from the skewer and serve with desired garnishes.

Sounds delicious! I brought back some aijwan from Nepal; it's somewhere at the back of a cupboard - I bet I forgot to label it and it probably looks like some evil old weed by now.
