PRAWN PICKLE


Pickles are taste boosters which add flavour to the main meal. Spicy , flavourful pickle is the best side dish to tickle our taste buds. It has the power to turn simple meals more appetizing! 

My family loves raw mango pickle as well as fish & prawn pickle.  It tastes the best with steamed rice and curries. 

Fish & prawn pickle can be prepared when these main ingredients ( fish & prawns) are available in plenty for cheap price. 

Here is a simple , easy way to prepare this prawn pickle. 

Please note: The chillies used can be increased or decreased as per ones preference. We prefer less spicy food. Use diluted vinegar to clean leftover masala in the grinding jar. (1/2 cup vinegar with 1 cup boiled & cooled water)

OTHER INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2kg prawns
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 cup sesame oil
  • Salt to taste. 
  • 1/4 cup diluted vinegar 

METHOD:



Clean, peel & de-vein the prawns. 

Add salt, turmeric powder , mix well & keep aside for 1/2 an hour. 

Grind all the masala ingredients mentioned above to a fine paste. 

Heat 1/2 cup sesame oil in a cooking pan. Add prawns. 

Fry for 4-5 minutes till they turn slight brown. 
Remove & keep aside. 

In the same oil, add masala paste & fry on a low heat for 4-5 minutes. 

Add masala water & mix well. Add salt to taste & cover. Cook for 5 minutes. 

Add fried prawns. 

Mix well & cover & cook for about 4-5 minutes. 

Delicious prawn pickle is ready.

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
