When you open a jar of Vebka’s prawn pickle, you're not just tasting food — you're savoring a story. A story that begins by the coastal shores of Kerala, where the ocean brings in its freshest bounty and ends at your table with a fiery, mouth-watering delight.
This is the tale of how we turn simple prawns into something extraordinary — a traditional Kerala achar that captures the very soul of South Indian coastal cuisine.
1. The Catch: Fresh from Kerala’s Waters
At Vebka, we believe great taste starts with great ingredients. That’s why we source our prawns directly from Kerala’s trusted fishing harbors. Each catch is hand-picked for freshness, size, and texture — ensuring that only the best prawns make their way into our pickles.
2. The Cleanse: Hand-Cleaned to Perfection
Once harvested, the prawns undergo a meticulous cleaning process. Our kitchen experts carefully devein and wash the prawns to maintain hygiene and purity — a crucial step that ensures the final product is not only flavorful but also safe to consume.
3. The Marination: Infusing with Kerala’s Spice Legacy
Now comes the magic — marination. We soak the prawns in a rich blend of:
- Sun-dried red chili powder
- Crushed mustard
- Curry leaves
- Ginger-garlic paste
- Fenugreek and turmeric
This spice mix is inspired by generations of Kerala pickle-making traditions — a perfect balance of heat, tang, and aroma.
4. The Cooking: Slow and Steady in Gingelly Oil
Next, the marinated prawns are slow-cooked in cold-pressed gingelly (sesame) oil. This gives the pickle its deep, earthy flavor while acting as a natural preservative. The careful cooking ensures every prawn is juicy inside and delightfully crisp on the outside.
5. The Bottling: Sealed with Love and Care
Once cooled, the prawns are packed into sterilized glass jars along with the seasoned oil. Each jar is tightly sealed to lock in the flavor and ensure long shelf life without using synthetic preservatives.
And there you have it — the full journey from ocean to jar.
