Prawns Pickle

Kerala Prawns Pickle — Chemmeen Achaar

The coastal heatwave in a jar.

This is the jar people hide at the back of the fridge so no one else finishes it first. Real prawns, slow-fried and folded into a fiery Malabar masala — the naadan chemmeen achaar that turns a plate of plain rice into the best meal of your week. Handmade in small batches in Kerala.

Heat: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ / 5 — properly spiced, the way the coast intended.

New to Kerala pickles? This one sits in the middle of our range. Start with our SweetFire Chilli or Lemon Dates if you'd rather ease in.

The taste

Smoky, spicy and gloriously rich — heat first, then a buttery, ocean-deep finish, with roasted garlic and ginger balancing the brine.

Made to be gifted

Sealed and shelf-stable until opened, so it travels and gifts beautifully — the jar to send a friend who thinks they've tasted every pickle.

Eat it with

Hot rice and ghee · parathas · biryani or curd rice · or straight off the spoon at midnight.

Loved it? The Fish (Tuna) Pickle is its coastal sibling.

A note on our seafood: During the monsoon trawling ban, and because we use only fresh-caught seafood rather than frozen stock, the catch varies through the year. You may notice slight differences in flavour, colour or texture from one batch to the next. That isn't a fault — it's the honest result of real, seasonal seafood, handmade in small batches.
