Why Choose Kazhanthan Prawns?
-
Natural Sweetness: Unlike larger tiger prawns, the Kazhanthan variety is celebrated for its natural, concentrated sweetness that infuses beautifully into any sauce.
-
Firm & Crunchy: When cooked, these prawns maintain a delightful firmness, ensuring they don’t turn mushy in heavy curries or stews.
-
Perfect Size: Their medium size makes them ideal for a variety of dishes—large enough to feel meaty, yet small enough to absorb masalas thoroughly.
-
Nutritional Powerhouse: Low in calories but high in zinc, magnesium, and high-quality protein, making them a healthy addition to your diet.

👨🍳 Chef’s Recommendation: Kerala Prawn Roast (Chemmeen Ularthiyathu)
-
Sauté Kazhanthan prawns with plenty of shallots (small onions), ginger, garlic, and slit green chilies.
-
Add a mix of Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric, and a generous amount of black pepper.
-
Slow-roast with coconut slices (thenga kothu) and fresh curry leaves in coconut oil until the prawns are perfectly coated and dark red.
Freshness Tip: To enjoy the best texture, avoid overcooking. These prawns usually cook in just 3–5 minutes. Once they curl into a “C” shape and turn opaque, they are ready!
