Hi wendy. I wish i could share pic of the Balchao i made following your recipe. It has turned out just so goooood. My family and friends just loved it and even asked for the recipe 😂. The only changes i made were... De seeding all 30 chillies Added 1 more extra tbsp of sugar and 1/4 cup less vinegar. The reason being our spice and sour tolerance is low 😊. But yeah an absolute keeper of this recipe, rest assured !! Thanks once again❤
Hi Jenny I’m so glad that you and your family enjoyed the prawn balchao. Would really appreciate if you could share the pics on FB and tag Platin’It With Wendy.
Thank you, Wendy, for such a perfect recipe. This is the second batch I'm making today in less than a month's time. That in itself tells how much my family has enjoyed it. This recipe is one to hand down to future generations. A heartfelt thanks once again and we look forward to such authentic and superb dishes.
I am from Trinidad 🇹🇹 and I never heard of this and I love prawns and this reminds me of kimchi.I subscribed today and have viewed a number of your recipes and I am loving them.I will try to make some for my children and grandchildren. I am 67yrs and retired from teaching.
Like thé way you say "Hiiii." and at thé end when you say " oh my God " All your rescipes are so well amazing ..your rescapés are so interesting n easy to folliow.. Thank you so much dear Wendy ..
Hi Wendy....will be making this here in Canada before heading back home To Goa ..My Son's wanted me to make some before leaving....I wanted to look for the best recipe.... AND yours was the first to pop up.....❤
OMG ! Brings back fond memories 💕my grandma & mum made the the most delicious balchao & it’s was a a family favorite. Thanks for sharing …. Sooo delicious ❤️💕❤️
Wow!!! I didn't realize it was so simple to make it. My mom used to make it for us regularly. Thanks dear will definitely try it out for my kid's. God bless the work of ur hands❤
Perfectly scripted , and presented video ! Easy , clear steps , if followed will result in the Best Dish! WELL DONE WENDY! THE PRAWN BALCHAO AND POMFRET CALDINE CURRY TASTED SAME AS I HAD INPANJIM ! KEP IT UP WENDY !
Thank you for this easy to follow recipe. I'd been on the hunt for a good recipe for sometime now. Will assuredly try this, but before that I would like to know if the prepared Balchao should be left on the counter or in the refrigerator for its resting period and later too.
Hi Wendy! You’ve brought back so many fond memories of my dad with this recipe. I wanted to ask, should we store the pickle at room temperature first and then in the fridge? Or does it stay at room temp for the 15 days? Thanks x
Hi Klarrisse, I’m so happy to hear that my Prawn Balchao recipe has brought back fond memories of your dad. I’m glad you are enjoying it. You could store it in the fridge if you like😊
Wow, wow, wow, Here comes a recipe on Wendy's Prawn Balchao. Kashmiri chillies, garlic and ginger, Go into the blender with vinegar. Marinated prawns are ready for frying, Oil is heated for seasoning. Prawns are cooked with the masala, Wendy says it needs time for maturing. Delicious and yummy, From the nostrils to the tummy.😀👌👌😋😋
Hi Jan long time no hear from you, happy n prosperous New year dear to dearself n family,miss you on Tammy n Roy sessions.Dale and myself miss you a lot on Tammy and Roy sessions.Take care love n hugs n prayers from Dale and Neil and myself
@@soniadionizio2983 hi Sonia and Dale How lovely to see you on Wendy's channel. I'm good dear. Was busy last year with house repairs etc. I still watch as and when time permits. Will catch up soon. Bye Tc, A very happy and prosperous New Year to you Dale and your son.
Wow Wendy this prawn balchao looks so tempting my grandma used to make it thanks a ton if you could please share the recipe of wedding and tendli pickles thank you and god bless
Hi Thankyou for sharing this recipe .. can you please share the shelf life details of this pickle.. like how should we store it … should we refrigerate it or not ?
Thanks Wendy for sharing this delicious looking recipe .... I know the taste will be awesome .... Just some clarifications required ... 1) You have used round cinnamon, so it is 1 and 1/2 inch …if we use the flat one should we double the quantity and use 3 inches? 2) What is the ml of the cup measure that you use in all your recipes? …. Is it 200 ml / 240 ml / 250 ml? I think in the US they use 240 ml and in Canada 250 ml cup measure. Please clarify 3) Do the prawns become chewy as we have to fry them till all the moisture is dried out so that the Balchao does not spoil? When I have bought readymade Prawn Balchao from Goa, the prawns are so chewy…. 4) The weight of the prawns is before shelling or after shelling? I know to an expert like you my questions will seem stupid … but please do not mind… this is the first time I am trying a Prawn Balchao Recipe and would not like to go wrong…Thanks for understanding and your patience….God Bless!!!
Thanks Irene, yup it’s a must try recipe 😋😋. I will answer you queries in the same order as you have asked them. Hope that helps😊 1. Yes for sure 2. 240 ml 3. No the prawns do not turn chewy. You are going to love this Prawn Balchao 😋😋
@@PlatinItWithWendy Yay! Thanks, Wendy… but it has to be soft melt in the mouth with a slightly sweet resonance to it and I am sure it will have curry leaves. I remember sitting on the table while she packed bottles of it wrapped and sewn in material to protect it to post it to my 17 year old uncle who was studying medicine at university in the U.K.! Poor guy having to open it up- but I am sure he loved eating it! Brinjal pickle sandwiches … to die for! Thanks Wendy.
Hi Wendy, I made your balchāw recipe today, and it turned out awesome. I had to order the red wine vinegar from Amazon, since it is not easily available here. Just one question, since I will definitely make this again, can any other vinegar which is easily available in supermarkets, be used in this recipe?
Wendy you have once again excelled with you prawn recipe. Just a question what is the name of that blender you use and is it available in Canada. Do tell! Thank you as always for all your amazing recipes.
Hi Wendy Tried your prawn balchao it was superb the kids finishes half of it immediately after it was made Wanted to know if I can add dried Bombay ducks to the same masala paste to make bombil pickle Please advise and how much bombils should I add Or if you could please share a bombil pickle recipe
I.mafd mistake I did not add vinegar while grinding. I put it on when I put the ground spi es and prawn will it make a difference I only used about 1 pound shrimps.
Hi wendy. I wish i could share pic of the Balchao i made following your recipe. It has turned out just so goooood. My family and friends just loved it and even asked for the recipe 😂.

I like to refrigerate it when I make it 😊
Love you for the way you explain lovely thank you and really love you
Thank you so much Monika.
Thankyou sweetheart. God bless
👌😍, any substitute for red wine vinegar
I don't like anything with wine so I'd love to know a replacement
If you have Goa vinegar that would be an excellent substitute, otherwise use apple cider vinegar

Hi Wendy, just wanted to know if balchao can be made with vegetables? And if so, which vegetables can be added to the masala
For sure make it with gerkins.
Thank you dear
How do you store it? Outside or in the fridge in the first 15 days since it matures?
I like to refrigerate it.
Looks delicious!!! Can this be made with meat?
Sure LMLM you could use any meat of your preference but the cooking time will depend on the meat you are cooking 😊
have you made balchau with very tiny dried shrimps
No it bigger shrimp and you can cut them into two😊
Wendy you have once again excelled with you prawn recipe. Just a question what is the name of that blender you use and is it available in Canada. Do tell! Thank you as always for all your amazing recipes.
Thanks Carole 😊 I’m using a Preethi mixer which I purchased in Canada😊 it’s excellent!
Would frozen shrimp do or does it need to be fresh?
Thanks
