Marinate the scooped parval with little turmeric powder and salt. Next wash the prawns and marinate them in turmeric and salt. Heat oil and fry the parvals. Remove them as soon as they turn a little brown. Fry the prawns also for 3 to 4 minutes and remove. Now add garlic, chilly, cinnamon and cloves and fry for 2 minutes. Add the prawns and 1 tsp sugar and salt to taste and cook for few minutes. Cool the mixture for half an hour. Now stuff the parvals with this mixture and tie them with string.
