The summer days have begun and we
avoid eating any spicy food.
We prefer to eat rice and dal
or something lighter.
But it will tastes delicious along
with some prawns pickle.
So now let's make prawns pickle.
I have 250 gms
of small prawns.
I have removed it's threads.
To that I will add in 1
tsp of ginger paste.
1 tsp of ginger paste.
1 tsp of red chilli powder.
Here I have used
Kashmiri red chilli powder.
And 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder.
And 1/2 tsp of salt.
Now I will mix it nicely.
I have kept a wok to heat.
Let's heat up 5 tbsp
of mustard oil in it.
Mustard oil has a
different aroma.
To let that aroma go
what should we do?
Let the oil heat nicely.
Once it heats, turn of the
flame and allow it to cool.
After it cools, we will turn the flame on and
add in the prawns once the oil heats up.
The oil has heated up.
We will turn off the flame and
allow the oil to cool down.
We have allowed the oil to cool down
and now we are heating it again.
And in that we will fry the prawns.
Prawns don't take a lot
of time to cook.
This takes 3-4 mins only.
These prawns will take only 1 to 2 mins
to be cooked because they are small.
We will take these out.
In this oil only we will add in
again 1 tbsp of mustard oil.
And after the oil heats up we will add in
1 tbsp of mustard seeds and let it temper.
Here I have prepared a spice mix.
For our prawns pickle.
In that I have added
1 tbsp Mustard seeds.
1 tbsp of fenugreek seeds,
1 tbsp of black peppers.
1 tbsp of red chilli powder and
1 tbsp of turmeric powder.
I have made fine
powder of it like so.
We will use this.
The oil has heated.
In that we will temper
1/2 tsp of mustard.
After the mustard seeds temper
we will fry 15-20 curry leaves.
And now we will fry
our spice mix in it.
And add in our prawns too.
Now in this we will add in juice
of two lemons and cook it.
This will take 3-4 mins.
We have fried the
prawns for 3 to 4 mins.
And our Prawns pickle is ready.
This prawns pickle tastes amazing
with Bhakri, chapati..
Or steaming hot rice and dal.
So do try this dish
and let me know.
