Main Description.
Prawns are bottled or brined in other solutions and left to ferment for a period of time, by either immersing them in an acidic solution or through souring by fermentation.
Back Home in India generally Pickles are made by Mothers or Grandmothers. It is generally like a gift or a treat to the younger generation from the older one. Love bottled in a Jar full of traditions, love, and techniques. My mother introduced me to this Recipe and nothing tastes better than this till date.
