Prawn Pickle

Prawn Pickle

Prawn Pickle is a tangy, spicy, and aromatic South Indian delicacy made with succulent prawns that are marinated in a flavorful blend of spices. The prawns are typically cooked and then mixed with ingredients like tamarind, mustard seeds, fenugreek, red chili powder, turmeric, and curry leaves. These ingredients work together to create a bold and piquant marinade that soaks into the prawns, enhancing their flavor.

The prawns are usually fried or sautéed before being preserved in a spicy, tangy oil-based mixture, which helps in both flavoring and preserving the dish. Mustard oil is often used, adding a distinct aroma and richness to the pickle.

Prawn Pickle is best enjoyed with hot steamed rice, paratha, or chapati, offering a delightful, spicy kick. It’s an ideal dish for those who love seafood with bold, intense flavors, perfect for spicing up any meal.
