VCC 365 - Prawn Pickle

This is another Mangalorean dish recipe contribution by Karishma to the group cookbook project - You Can Cook' for 'Feed a Hungry Child' campaign.

Prawn Pickle recipe

Ingredients:
200 small prawns shelled. (250-300 gms)
Add salt and keep aside for 10 minutes. Fry in a deep pan without oil. After water evaporates, put 2 tbsps gingelly/til/sesame oil and fry till done.

Masala:
15-20 long red chillies
1" ginger
1 pod garlic
pinch of jeera
1/2" turmeric
1 tsp salt

Method: Grind with 2-3 spoons of vinegar or as required. Fry masala in 2 tbsps gingelly oil for 20 minutes. Add prawns and fry for another 10 minutes. When cool, bottle it.

Kim's Notes: Yes 10 minutes if you plan to keep the pickle for awhile. If eating immediately you may like a softer texture to the prawns & cook it for less time, but if you plan to preserve the pickle, the prarns need to be cooked till they are hard otherwise the pickle will spoil.
