When cooked and cooled, shred the chicken into long thin pieces.
You can add any other meat also. The cooking process is same as the chicken preparation mentioned above.
Clean the prawns, rinse them in the cold water.
Then start de-shelling and deveining the prawns. You will need to remove the head, the tail, and the legs before cooking the prawns.
In the cleaned, de-shelled prawns, mix a little salt and turmeric powder. Then fry lightly in the oil and set aside.
