Kerala’s Kanava Achar, or squid pickle, is a coastal favourite known for its deep, spicy flavour and the soft, tender texture of squid. Prepared using traditional home-style techniques, this seafood pickle brings together the rich taste of squid and the bold aroma of Kerala spices.

The squid is thoroughly cleaned, chopped, marinated with turmeric and chilli, then lightly fried to lock in its natural flavour. It is then mixed with roasted spices, garlic, ginger, mustard, fenugreek and curry leaves. Finally, it is preserved in sesame oil, which enhances its aroma and gives the pickle its signature Kerala-style richness.

This squid pickle is especially loved by seafood enthusiasts because of its:

● Soft and flavourful squid pieces
● Spicy and tangy Kerala-style seasoning
● Perfect balance of salt, heat and aroma
● Long-lasting flavour due to slow cooking

Kanava Achar pairs beautifully with:

● Kerala rice meals
● Kanji (rice porridge)
● Chapati, dosa or paratha
● Biryani and ghee rice
● Lunch boxes and travel meals

Made in small batches, our recipe uses only natural ingredients — no artificial preservatives or flavour enhancers. Every jar offers a truly homemade-style seafood pickle that captures the coastal essence of Kerala cuisine.
