Method

  1. Beat the egg yolk and water together. Tip in the flour and roughly combine - the mixture should remain fairly lumpy as this gives it its lightness when fried.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pan until hot enough for a piece of bread to brown in 30 secs.
  3. Dip the prawns and vegetables into the batter and fry in batches until light golden in colour. Drain on kitchen paper and serve.
