4. Add the prawns and soaked Malabar tamarind, cook well, then reduce the gravy until dry.

5. Remove the Malabar tamarind pieces.

6. Mix in the fried shallots and curry leaves. This is the filling.

7. Mash the eighth ingredient using a fork. Do not make it a paste; small chunks should remain.

9. Dip these in beaten egg, coat with bread crumbs, and deep fry in hot oil until golden brown.
