Prawn pickles recipe

It is very easy to make prawn pickle since they require only some mixing of masala and heating. Well, for making this pickle we have to choose small size prawns because large prawn won't take up the masala soon and it will not taste good also.

1) Now add 1 ½ tbps of oil in a pan and add the prawns in it. Don't dump too much prawn in the pan since this prawn will bring out water vapor on heating.
2) Sauté the prawn for few minutes and add ginger- garlic paste which you have to cook for a minute and mix with the prawns properly.
3) Now switch off the flame and remove the content.
4) For the tempering add 2-3 tbps of oil in the same pan, add the following things inorder: read chilies of 2-3 pcs, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric powder (a pinch), and curry leaves (chopped nicely).
5) Last part of making the pickle: put the fried prawns in a bowl (check for zero moisture in the left out oil which shows whether you have cooked the prawns properly or not).
6) Add lemon juice, half cup of red chilly powder, one tbps of roasted coriander powder, roasted coconut powder, garam masala, one tbsp of salt and mix the content well.
7) Now add the tempering and finish the dish by through mixing. The pickle can be used after 6 hours, so that masala enters the prawn and gives more flavors.
8) Inorder to make roasted coconut powder, you have to take some shredded coconut and fry them pan. After that, grind it into powder.
