I didnt see the prawn tails when you are deep frying them. May I know when to stick them to the prawn balls. Thanks.
Hi Elena, thanks for picking that out! i have edited the instruction to include the insertion of prawn tail. it will happen just before frying, i.e. after coating with bread crumb and desiccated coconut
Thanks. Going to try out this out. Yum! Yum! Looking at your pictures makes to hungry.
