Hi Shreya,

The prawns when grind will be so sticky that they will stick togather but be careful, the onions you add to the prawns should be really goresly chopped or grind them too to be on the safer side. If you are still not sure just roll the balls you make on a bit of maida and then put them in the Kozhambhu.

The ingredients too you can alter in course as per your wish some people put more onions and tomatos in their Kozhambu
