Greetings Chef Vijay!
Thank you for the simple recipe🙏🏻
Question, can we use jaggery instead of sugar?
A request, please use a new pan the next time, the current one is burnt out and surely toxic for health.
Blessings come your way.

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

Yes you can use Jaggery.. and yea I changed my pan thank you very much for your concern 🥰

[@user-jd5go9ry6d]

Good morning Chef,can we use reasad masala for this prawns.

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

Don't use rechado masala as it is little bit sweet.

[@mariapinto9886]

Looks delish can I use mustard oil n is the prawns 1kg with shell or w/o shell

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

1kg with shell and yes you can use Mustard oil.

[@augustafernandes8130]

Is this prawn bacha or prawn mollee?

[@trudygudinho1282]

What is the reason for adding onions?
I prepared it. But looks very thick. Couldn't add more vinegar as it would be too sour. So can i add a little oil. Made nicely hot and then cooled.

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

Onion is for better flavour add oil .

[@trudygudinho1282]

@@pintovinayscuisine5366 Thanks for your prompt reply.

[@trudygudinho1282]

Hi chef. I prepared mole. Cooled it completely and then stored in a glass bottle with plastic lid and kept in the fridge. But why does water collect from the inside of the lid after sometime. So layered the lid with a tissue paper or else the droplets will drip in and spoil it. Any other way ?

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

Just condensation keep oil level more and air tight container

[@trudygudinho1282]

[@frankfernandes6107]

Very yummy n superb bro

[@nivedasalgaonkar9775]

Can we use other chilly instead of kashmir chilly?

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

You have to use Kashmiri chillies , they give nice red colour and less spiciness.

[@user-zi6nu2jr8p]

We can store without fridge

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

Yes in air tight container

[@cookingchannels5996]

A question Chef Pinto... Most Prawn Balchao recipes, I've seen, also grind the Onions with the masala resulting in a smooth paste.. you saute the onions separately, which would result in a grainy texture. Is that a normal Prawn Balchao texture - grainy not smooth?

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

It should be grainy and i would prefer this more...however do try it out and let me know about ur opinions 😊

[@2467phil]

Chef please share recipe of dry shrimp balchao

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

I will try to upload soon

[@lenovovibe524]

*Is it synthetic vinegar or coconut vinegar?*

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

Yes I used Toddy (coconut)Vinegar

[@paurnamirai3327]

It's like a prawns ghee roast

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

Prawns Ghee Roast and Prawns Balchao are totally different dishes, balchao tastes like pickle it has more of a tangy flavor.

[@paurnamirai3327]

@@pintovinayscuisine5366 okay thanks

[@user-ex3ib7nz9g]

Is mole and balchao the same? If not, then what is the difference?

[@augustafernandes8130]

No they are not the same

[@MeninodeValpoi]

The cinnamon piece looks much bigger than two inches, how come the chef says one inch cinnamon?

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

As you can see the cinnamon i have used is flat piece. What you get in market is roll pieces . Hope this clarifies.

[@abcxyz-re7lf]

Instead of vinegar what to use

[@pintovinayscuisine5366]

To make balchao you have to use Vinegar no other option for it.
