Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
Chilli flakes 1 1/2 tsp
Salt 3 tsp
Asafoetida powder 1/4 tsp

Method:
Soak split yellow peas in water for 30 minutes, then grind them into a smooth paste.
Combine the paste with chopped green chillies, red onions, curry leaves, turmeric powder, chilli flakes, salt and asafoetida powder.
Mix well, then form the mixture into small, round patties.
Meanwhile, season the prawns with salt.
Make a thin paste with flour and water, and use it to stick two prawns onto each patty.
Finally fry the isso wade until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Serve it up hot with a cup of tea and enjoy!
