Savoury Prawn Balls - Crispy And Delicious Prawn Cutlets

 These savoury prawn balls with their crusty outer cover are a very tempting snack with a dollop of ketchup on the side. 

You can even pack these in school lunch boxes as they will stay crispy and crunchy for hours and taste even better.  Busy mums can store the prepared prawn balls in the freezer and deep-fry them whenever needed.

You will need only a few regular ingredients for this.  So, let's get ready to fry them up!

Gather the following ingredients;

1 cup Cooked prawns

1 Onion
1 Green chilli
Salt and pepper
2 Eggs
