Prawn Pickle in Green Spices

There are several types of Balchao in the Parsi cooking repertoire. Balchao or Balsaun, it can be red or green depending on the chillies used in preparing it.

A typical jhinga nu achar (prawn pickle) is made with red dry chillies, similar to the Tarapori Patyo. This Leelu Balchao is made of green chillies (as the name suggests) and lemon pickle.

A wonderful condiment. An old family recipe tha
