They were all Thai-made.<br /><br />I get good prawns here, I will probably adjust your quantities to fit my first attempt with 250 gms of prawn.

This year, I made this again, and I added the lime juice after I had made the rest of the pickle gravy/masala - as far as I know, lime juice tends to turn everything bitter if it's cooked so I just squeeze it over whatever I've cooked after taking it off the fire if I'm using it. But this year's experience taught me that I need more lime juice than mentioned in the recipe I followed - maybe the rest of the spices and residual heat take away some of the sourness!srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-29905807945483058492008-10-02T23:12:00.000+05:302008-10-02T23:12:00.000+05:30Hello Sra ,Am I supposed to heat the oil to smokin...Hello Sra ,<BR/>Am I supposed to heat the oil to smoking point & fry the prawns until it turns red take 'em out & cool it?<BR/>And about the lime extract should I add it along with the powders & cook it in the pan with oil or else pour it into the jar once the prawns & powders are cooked and mixed<BR/><BR/>-NatarajanNatarajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04691789823808780589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-1166467309443507832006-12-19T00:11:00.000+05:302006-12-19T00:11:00.000+05:30Sri, glad to have you drooling.

Btw, your blog rejected my comments twice yesterday.<BR/>Asha, you will probably get prawn and fish pickle in Indian stores - the commercial variety come from Kerala and are vinegary in taste.srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-1165936900144867412006-12-12T20:51:00.000+05:302006-12-12T20:51:00.000+05:30Looks great!
