Homemade Andhra Prawn Pickle

How it tastes

Spicy, garlicky and gently tangy from tamarind, with firm prawn pieces that soak up the masala. It is one of our most-ordered pickles for a reason: one or two pieces are enough for a full plate of rice.

How we make it

The prawns are cleaned, cooked and fried slowly so the moisture is driven out, which is what keeps a non-veg pickle good. They are then mixed with chilli powder, ginger-garlic, a roasted blend of coriander, fenugreek, cloves and cardamom, and tamarind, and settled under groundnut oil. Every jar is prepared in small batches in our kitchen after your order.

Ingredients

Fresh prawns, Red chili powder, Mustard seeds, Garlic, Ginger, Curry leaves, Salt, Turmeric powder, Fenugreek seeds, Groundnut oil, Coriander seeds, Tamarind, Cloves, Cardamom.

Contains shellfish. Please avoid if you have a seafood allergy.

How to enjoy it

• Hot rice with a spoon of ghee and a couple of prawn pieces, mixed well by hand.
• With curd rice: the cool curd balances the heat beautifully.
• Rolled into a hot chapati or with dosa for a quick tiffin.
• A small side with pappu annam (dal rice) to lift a simple lunch.

Storage

Use a clean, dry spoon every time, keep the pieces under the oil, close the lid tightly and store the jar in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening for the best freshness.
