Place rice flour and turmeric in a large bowl. Whisk in coconut milk and the water to form a thick batter. Set aside 15 mins. Stir in prawns, season with salt.
Meanwhile, make dipping sauce. Combine ingredients, lime juice, water, fish sauce, sugar, chilli and garlic in a small bowl.
Fill a large saucepan or deep-fryer one-third full with oil, heat to 180 C (160 C fan forced) (or until a cube of bread turns golden in 10 secs). Cook ¼ cup of the fritter mixture, in batches, for 3 mins or until crisp, golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel.
