INGREDIENTS
•
1lb medium sized, deveined and shelled shrimp
•
1 tbsp red chili powder
•
1/4 cup finely sliced ginger
•
1/4 cup finely sliced garlic
•
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
•
1 tsp mustard seeds
•
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds powder
•
2 – 3 pinches of asafoetida powder
•
3 green chilies finely chopped
•
1/2 tsp whole black pepper corns
•
1 – 2 sprigs of curry leaves
•
1/4 cup vinegar
•
oil as required (I use sesame oil – the golden, cold-pressed kind not the dark brown from toasted seeds found in the chinese market. It gives a very distinct flavor to the pickle. You can use any refined oil if you aren’t too fond of sesame)
•
salt to taste.
