Just made two bottles of Prawn Balchao. Instead of the nigela seeds I used mustard and instead of onions I used leeks. Taste's very nice. When I sus this site out, I will post photo's.

Chuffa, it is not possible to post photoes on the forum, but you are welcome to post your recipe.

Thanks for that Mamta,

Hi Chuffa

Just to clarify, you can attach 'photos to an email to Mamta and send to an address as at the bottom of the page.

Interesting - we used to use Prawn Balichow but somehow forgot about it.

Interesting indeed! So many variations. The recipe I have here is definitely a spicy pickle type.

Mamta, once made, how long will the Balchao last if kept in a fridge

Chuffa, if you have made it with dry prawns, I am sure it will last a month or longer. It never stays that long here, because I usually make a jar or two only at a time. Lapis will probably be a better person to comment on it. The recipe I am talking about is this one;Prawn Balachao
