Description
Prawns — Chemmeen in Malayalam, Eral in Tamil — are the everyday favourite: sweet, quick to cook and endlessly versatile, whether it’s a midweek fry or a big pot of curry.
Loved across communities
A staple in Tamil, Malayali, Sri Lankan, Bengali and Konkani homes. Prawns are the fuss-free seafood everyone loves — a fast fry after work, or the heart of a weekend curry.
Popular dishes
The Kerala chemmeen curry is a classic, alongside prawn thokku and fry, prawn masala, prawn poriyal and biryani. They also make lovely cutlets and stir-fries.

Good to know
Are Prawns the same as Chemmeen or Eral?
Yes — Chemmeen in Malayalam, Eral in Tamil. These are our everyday prawns; for larger ones, see our king prawns.
Do you clean and devein them?
Yes — choose shell-on, peeled, or peeled and deveined at checkout and we’ll prepare them that way.
What’s the best way to cook prawns?
They cook in minutes — a quick fry, a coconut curry or a masala. Add them near the end so they stay sweet and tender, not rubbery.
What do prawns taste like?
Sweet and clean, soaking up spice and coconut readily, which is why they suit both a light fry and a rich curry.
How are they packed for delivery?
Prepared to order, vacuum-packed in a sealed bag and sent chilled, so they arrive fresh and clean with no leaks in the box.
