Beef pickle

Prawns pickle is a traditional South Indian delicacy made with fresh, juicy prawns cooked in aromatic spices and preserved in gingelly (sesame) oil. The prawns are marinated with chilli powder, turmeric, and salt, then lightly fried to lock in their flavor. They are slow-cooked with garlic, ginger, curry leaves, and a blend of spices, finished with vinegar for a perfect balance of spice, tang, and aroma.

This pickle has a bold, spicy taste with a slight sourness and rich seafood flavor. It pairs excellently with steamed rice, kanji (rice gruel), dosa, idli, chapathi, or curd rice. When stored properly, prawns pickle stays fresh for weeks and tastes even better over time as the flavors mature.
