  1. Wash and soak the rice and urad dal separately for at least four hours. Drain and grind dal to a fine paste and rice to a coarse paste using very little water. Mix both the pastes and add sufficient water to make a batter of dropping consistency.
  2. Allow it to ferment for four to five hours or overnight, covered, in a warm place. Heat sufficient water in a steamer. Add salt, crushed red chillies, coriander leaves and shrimps and mix well.
  3. Lightly grease the idli moulds with oil. Pour a spoonful of batter into each mould and place a prawn over the batter. Fit the idli moulds onto the stand and place the stand in the steamer and steam for twelve to fifteen minutes. Serve hot with coconut chutney.
