Cereal Prawns (Healthier version)

Cereal prawns are so addictive and so delicious simply because it is really really unhealthy, and loaded with fats. I attempted to make it healthier by substituting some ingredients and doing away with others. Usually the recipe calls for prawns to be deep-fried, tons of butter, and many salted egg yolks, I modified it by using healthier alternatives, and it turned out really well, without any major compromising of flavors. I made this to go with my Curry Leaves Aglio Olio and it was a pair made in heaven! Omit chili padi if you are feeding kids!
