Authentic Kerala Prawn Curry in Calgary

(47 reviews)

Treat yourself to an exceptional Kerala Prawn Curry at Kerala Palace Restaurant in NE Calgary. Plump, succulent prawns are simmered in a luscious, tangy coconut-based gravy infused with freshly ground Kerala spices, curry leaves, and Kudampuli (Kerala fish tamarind). This coastal Kerala classic is prepared with the same care and authenticity as the dishes served in the fishing villages along Kerala's Malabar coast — bringing the ocean's bounty to Calgary's northeast.

Seafood Speciality

Kerala's Prawn Curry — 'Chemmeen Curry' in Malayalam — is one of the most celebrated dishes of the Kerala coast. At Kerala Palace Restaurant, our Prawn Curry is prepared with fresh prawns marinated briefly in turmeric and chilli before being added to a richly flavoured base of freshly grated coconut, ground spices, Kudampuli (Gamboge), and an abundance of curry leaves — all cooked in a traditional manchatti clay pot.

The coconut base gives the curry a velvety richness while the Kudampuli provides a distinctive fruity tartness unique to Kerala's seafood dishes. The curry is best enjoyed with Kerala rice, Appam, or Kizhi Porotta, and our chefs at Kerala Palace are committed to preparing it fresh for every order, ensuring the prawns remain tender and juicy. It is a must-try for seafood lovers in Calgary's South Asian community.
