Chemmeen Ularthiyathu

817 Shares

When Amma asks me what I want special on reaching home, this dish is always on the top of my list  (btw, I dont know whether it can be called a list, because my cravings are endless ;) ). Now when I say Amma asks, don't misunderstand that she is cooking …..hhmm she doesn't cook much …I mean she cooks, but only once in a while. She doesn't have a knack for cooking or should I say …the art of cooking doesn't fascinate her as much as it does me ;). So our home cooking is outsourced to sarasa chechy, our maid. She cooks really well and this is her recipe. But there are certain dishes which I like the best when amma makes it …like parippu payasam, orotti, bombay toast etc; (more on these in another post)

Though Amma doesn't cook much, she encourages my cooking and gives expert advice  ;) and hey she does marketing  for my blog too…she promotes my blog among her friends & colleagues, I guess that's how she compensates for her cooking skills :)

A few days back, I had a craving for this dish. I called home and asked sarasa chechy the recipe. Since I called out of the blue, she was very confused and nervous while telling me the recipe but finally  Amma came to her rescue… and in the end I was confused :). The person who knows the recipe (Sarasa chechy) is confused and cant explain, and the person who doesnt know (my Amma) is explaining with  confidence saying” di.. nee athu korachitto, venamenkil ethum koodi kurachu etto” ;)  Anyways I figured it somehow and, I was happy with the outcome.

Please check out the picture of Prawns Olathiyathu, made by Bindhu, based on the above recipe. Thanks dear :)

Chemmeen/Prawns/Shrimp Olathiyathu

Print Pin
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Indian, Kerala, South Indian
Servings: 3 -4
Author: Maria Jose Martin

Ingredients

  • 250 gms Prawns (measured after cleaning)
  • 1 tbsp each Crushed Ginger & garlic
  • 1/2 – 1 tbsp Chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Coriander powder (optional, refer notes)
  • 1/2 – 1 tsp Garam masala (optional, refer notes)
  • 2-3 small pieces Kokum (kudam puli) ( soaked in water for around 10 minutes)
  • 1/4 cup Thengakothu (tiny coconut pieces) ( (you can add more if you like))
  • 2 medium Onions (sliced finely)
  • 5 Small onion / Pearl onion (sliced thinly)
  • Salt
  • Curry leaves
  • Coconut oil

Instructions

  • Wash and clean the prawns. Add half of the ginger & garlic, chilli powder (half of it) & turmeric powder, kokum, thengakothu, salt & curry leaves to the prawns. Mix well using your hands. Add water and cook till it is done, make sure that prawns are not over cooked. Drain the excess water.
  • Heat oil in a pan and add finely sliced small onion and fry till it becomes golden brown. Add remaining ginger & garlic, curry leaves & onion. Saute till the onion becomes light brown. Add the remaining chilli powder, coriander powder & garam masala (if using) and fry till the raw smell goes and oil starts appearing. Add cooked prawns & salt (since prawns is already cooked with salt, adjust the salt for the gravy accordingly). Mix well and add 2-3 tbsp of water. Cook it till the water is dried and prawns are well coated with masala. I like the prawns to be roasted well, so I keep it for around 10-12minutes on low flame, by stirring it in between. Serve with rice or roti.

Notes

The original recipe does not use coriander powder & garam masala. Since I like it spicy, I added it. So you can use it as per your taste.

  1. ooooh my goodness… this is the first time am trying a prawns recipe which is completely keralite…. and …its awesome… i have followed maria chechy’s recipe numerous times… but this was something else… dont know how to thank you …. god bless…..

  2. Hi Ress,

    That’s what I’m also thinking… how could you do that, forget MM ;)

    Anyways, I’m so happy that you remembered this place. Great to know that you tried the Chicken recipes and also liked Prawns recipe.

    Thank you so much dear for taking time to leave a comment here.

    Btw, pls try not to forget this small space :)

    Cheers
    Maria

    • Nope. Certainly not in the habit of making the same mistake àgain. Now when I need to cook something I search here first and from that experience I tell you, this is no small space you have created. This place is one big home!

  4. Hi Maria … I have made this chemeen olathiyathu the other day and my hubby luved it soo much that he’s been asking me to make it over and over again. So here am again to fulfil his wish ( as i have poor memory to remember the recipe). And btw whenever I search for anything in google your page comes up first, so I thought to bookmark this page and search in this instead of searching in google :). Please do include semiya upma recipe. Appreciate your hardwork. I do believe that ‘A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach’ :D. Thanks for making my man happy.

  6. This prawns recipe is really mouth watering.niwadays lots of prawns in manama arket.cant wait to get my hands on it

  9. Hi Maria,
    I will be trying out this recipe but wld like to know if this goes well with appam.

    Thanks
    Sonia flory

  10. Hi Maria,
    I tried this recipe with mushrooms instead of prawns and replaced kokum with tomatoes, it was a huge hit. Thanks alot for this amazing recipe..will try with prawns very soon :-)
    Keep up the good work!
    Regards,
    Sandhya Vijay

    • Hi Sandhya,

      That sounds great! We also like mushroom, so I’ll try your version sometime.

      Thanks for the comment and thanks for sharing your version here :)

      Cheers
      Maria

  11. Hi Maria
    thank u so much for posting this recipe… last sunday was the first time I made prawns… but with your recipe for guidance t was amazing !!! al loved it . I made a small addition… Instead of the garam masala I added Sambhar powder. It was super delicious.

    thanks a ton!!1

    Meenu

    • Thanks a lot Meenu for your comment :) So good to know that you chose the recipe from here for your first attempt with prawns.

      Adding sambar powder to prawns is new to me, interesting!

      Cheers
      Maria

  12. Hi Maria!
    Yet another fantastic recipe from you. I tried this and it came out really well. However instead of using using water at the end i used the excess water from the cooked shrimp. It added to the flavor. THank u once again!
    Cheers,
    Gayatri

    • You are welcome dear :) Good to know that this recipe worked out for you.. I’m sure the prawns stock took the flavour of the dish to another level

  13. Hi there, I have tried a few recipes from your site and they’re really really good. However I wanted to know if it’s possible to not use coconut pieces or coconut milk in the recipes without affecting the taste. I live in Malaysia and some ingredients are either not available or not favoured taste wise. Once again my taste buds thank you

    • Hi Sarenjit,

      Thanks a bunch for trying the recipes from here :) You can skip coconut pieces, but I’m not very sure about coconut milk. Again, it depends on each recipe. Skipping it might affect the texture and flavour of the dish. However if you dont like the taste, you can always adjust the recipe to suit your requirements.

      Cheers
      Maria

  44. Hi Maria,

    Today i tried your Prawns olathiyathu. It came out very well. so tasty. Thank u. But i used tomatoes instead of kudampuli, as i dont like the taste of kudampuli. ( kollam side, u see :-) used to vadampuli or  tomatoes.) 

    Maria, i have tried a couple of your recipes and they all turned out so good and tasty. i am hooked to your site now..

    • Hi Akhila,

  48. Hi Maria

    I have been visiting your website for some months now. You can thank my mother. She loves what u cook and sends me emails of whatever u cook every week. It’ s really inspiring since I’m just an amateur cook. Baking is the only thing that I keep trying now and then.

    I’ve been married for 6 months now and I’m trying to get myself to cook like a pro..well, just like mom! =). I must say, the dishes look very delicious as seen in the pictures.

    I would like to thank you for posting the typical naadan receipes. My husband is a hard core fan of kerala cooked dishes espec when it comes to meat. Please continue cooking and making the best dishes. You are just going to make young people like me happy .

    Warm regards
    Linda

    P.S. The prawns olathiyathu receipe looks marvelous. Will try it over the weekend

    • Hi Linda,

      First of all, let me wish you a wonderful & blessed married life! May God Bless You!

Its a pleasure to know that you find this space helpful. Please do try the recipes, when time permits and also share your feedback. Would love to hear from you…

      All the best & happy cooking/baking!

      Cheers
      Maria

  49. Hi Maria,

    When I started cooking after my marriage, initially i used to google the name of the dish i want to make and get different recipes and try out what seems to be best and suiting my taste. That it when i came across your website and I happened to choose your recipes, not just because the pics look so appetizing and delicious, but also because, they suit my taste and they are simple to follow. Needless to say, they came out wonderful once it was cooked.

    I must say, I stopped googling for recipes and I started coming directly to your website and searching here to find my dish of the day :).

    Thank you so much for posting such awesome recipes and saving the poor souls like me who are not that talented in the kitchen.

    Keep posting and wishing you all the very best.

  53. Hi Maria (chechi). I dont know whether to call you your name or address u as chechi. Anyways first of all lemme shower you with camel loads of flowers of thanks and appreciation. Thank you very much for posting this recipe. Today I bought 250 gms of Prawns (less quantity since this is the first time am going to try prawns). I was looking for a recipe on the internet which is typical kerala style and i wanted one with “thenga koth” .Oh i was soo soo happy and excited when i saw this reciped in your blog. I am going to make it your way, your mom’s way, sarasa chechi’s way. Lemme try it. I shall let you know how it came out for sure. Once in a while i experiment with cooking. I have learnt all my skills from my mom. She is a great cook. I was about to call Devumma ( my amma) when i couldnt find any good recipes, and thats when i stumbled upon your writing. I am put up in bangalore, living alone. My parents live in Ernakulam. I learnt quite a few recipes from internet as well. So today am goingi to learn and make a new item with your guidance. Thank you Maria (chechi). Will keep you posted.

  56. Hey u know what kodum puli and kokar are 2 diff things. check out this blog http://blog.sigsiv.com/2008/04/kudampuli-gambooge.html

    ur recipe looks good,must try it out. BTW in kochi that yesudas’ house turned dilips restaurant..we couldnt go but its supposed to be ok. I heard it was named D’LIP and then the restaurant name I think Mango tree. There are now a lot restaurants mushrooming there, one of them was Daal roti, I think it has been around more than one year.Then when we went in apr, there was tea bungalow which is near kummumpuram.It was erstwhile brook bond bungalow.Anyone can tell u,but the cusine is fusion and International and not cheap. Then on princess street there is one restaurant by Abad hotel chaps with a very french styled name, and then koders house which is an old house turned into a restaurant in hotel. Then on princess street itself there is the courtyard which attracts a lot of white tourists. Thats all I can remember, my in laws who have lived there for 40yrs can tell more and Yes Fort kochi is far from the other kochi and ancient also. Its very humid there but the sea food is too good,some of the local thatta shops make yumm stuff but I prefer my mother in laws seafood and all home made prawns and fish I can get.Hope this was helpful.Ta

    • Hi Shibu,

      Thanks for the link.

      Yeah, I also heard there are many new restaurants in that area. Some of the other readers also mentioned Dal Roti, so it must be real good then :)

      Thanks for taking time to share this info. Appreciate it :)

  74. Hi Maria

    I am from Cochin. And I am living in a Village called Varapuzha. This is the season of “Chemmeen Kettu” here. WE usually having our mamma’s “Chemmeen Ulathhu” (Vadakara Style). Today I tried this. It was awsome everybody liked it. Thanks for the recipe

    • Hi Bejoy

      am very very happy that you tried it and liked it also :) Am also from cochin, my father always comes to varapuzha to buy karimeen, he says varapuzha karimeen is really good!!

    • yes divz, I guess its the most commonly liked seafood n i think its really hard to find somebody who doesn’t like prawns. Though I wish there were many then we wouldn’t have to share it ;)

  76. ha ha! “…… and in the end I was confused” this really made ,laugh! :) lol…….really intresting to read…..and ofcourse u have posted one of my ever fav recipes,if i buy prawns this is wot i always love to make.

  79. ithu ente all time fav aa..even yday we made n ate like nything..Your pic looks fab..yummy..but I skip cocum tho..I guess authentic roast skips any tanginess,but some tomatoes are added for a kick..

    • Thanks Varsha….

      Back home we put kokum in most prawns preparations & I just love the combo :), but abt the authenticity part, am clueless :)

  80. Hi maria, prawn dish looks mouthwatering. Usually, I don’t buy or cook with Prawns but I bought a pack y’day. Planning to make Molee, now I have to try this dish too. Thanks. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! :)
