Kolambi Lonche (Goan-Style Prawn Pickle)

Steps

1. 1
   Combine the pickle spice mix, turmeric, and Kashmiri chili powder, then stir in the asafoetida.
2. 2
   Add a small amount of water to form a thick spice paste.
3. 3
   Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds to temper, then add fenugreek seeds and cook briefly.
4. 4
   Add the prepared spice paste and cook for one to two minutes to release the flavors.
5. 5
   Add the prawns and stir well to coat evenly in the spiced sauce.
6. 6
   Season with salt and continue cooking until the prawns are cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
7. 7
   Make sure enough oil covers the pickle to help preserve it; once done, let it cool before serving or storing in a jar.
