This unique pickle features chunks of tender tuna fish marinated and cooked in a robust blend of spices, vinegar, and oil. The tuna is first lightly fried or cooked to retain its firm texture, then mixed with a fiery masala made from mustard seeds, fenugreek, turmeric, red chili powder, and a hint of asafoetida. Generous amounts of garlic, ginger, and green chilies add depth and heat, while a splash of vinegar or lime juice provides the signature tanginess. The mixture is slow-cooked to allow the flavors to meld together, resulting in a pungent, spicy, and slightly sour pickle. Finished with a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves, this pickle is a perfect accompaniment to steamed rice, parathas, or even as a zesty side to curd rice. Its bold flavors and long shelf life make it a favorite for those who enjoy a punchy, savory kick in their meals.
