Authentic Kerala fish pickle

Discover the Authentic Taste of Kerala Fish Pickle

Kerala fish pickle is a staple in many South Indian homes, known for its bold flavors and vibrant color. Each spoonful brings together fried fish, red chilies, ginger, garlic, and curry leaves, all preserved in oil and vinegar. This combination creates a spicy and tangy condiment that captures the essence of Kerala's coastal cuisine.

Why Kerala Fish Pickle Stands Out

Unlike many other pickles, Kerala fish pickle uses fresh, firm fish such as tuna or kingfish. The fish is cleaned, cut, and fried until golden, then mixed with a blend of ground spices and cooked in oil. The result is a pickle that is both rich and aromatic, with a depth of flavor that pairs well with a variety of dishes.
