Dry Prawns 100g (ചെമ്മീൻ )

Dry Prawns (ചെമ്മീൻ) — The Secret Ingredient of Kerala's Most Beloved Dishes

In Kerala kitchens, dried prawns — Chemmeen — are nothing short of magic. A small handful transforms a simple curry, chutney, or stir-fry into something deeply flavourful, intensely aromatic, and unmistakably coastal. Our Dry Prawns are sourced from the fresh catches of Kerala's coastline, sun-dried using traditional methods to concentrate their natural umami and preserve their bold, briny character.

One whiff and you're transported straight to a Kerala fishing village. One bite and you'll understand why this is a pantry staple in every Malayali home.
