Instructions to make Chemmeen Achar - Kerala Style Prawns Pickle:
- If using fresh shrimp, clean, devein it and wash it thoroughly. I used frozen cooked salad shrimp, so i just thawed it overnight in the fridge.
- Marinate it with all other ingredients in Bowl 1, arrange it on a tray or cookie sheet and leave it open in the sun for a day or two. I keep it from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm for nearly 2 days. Every evening take it inside,leave it on your counter top, covered or uncovered.
- So if you don't wanna wait till then, marinate the shrimp, keep it for some time and the fry it. (See notes @ the end to see other options)
- When your ready to make it, fry the shrimp in oil. You can either deep fry or shallow fry it.But i prefer deep frying for this. Drain on paper towels. Set aside
- Grind all the ingredients in Bowl 2 to a fine paste. Sprinkle a table spoon of water if necessary.
- Heat some oil from the fried shrimp pan, or you can use nalenna / sesame oil for this step.
- Add mustard seeds,when they splutter add fenugreek seeds. (if using fenugreek powder use at the end of cooking)
- Slide in chopped ginger, garlic,green chiles and curry leaves and fry for 3-4 minutes on medium flame till the raw smell disappears. Add the Bowl 2 - chili paste and mix well. Sprinkle 1/4 cup water and bring to boil…..
- Stir in the fried Prawns and combine well, Saute for 3-4 minutes, till it is heated through (add fenugreek powder if you are using it now) Give a salt check. Switch off the flame. Let it cool.
- When it is in room temperature add hing and 2 more table spoon of vinegar (optional) and mix well.
- My mom leave it on the stove top for a day and then transfer it into glass jars.
- Pour 2 or 3 table spoons of Nalenna/ Gingelly oil over it and keep outside for a day or two and then keep refrigerated.
