Description

This is a small fish with small bones. You can even eat the bones of this dish. That bones makes the dish tastier i think.

Here in US, you can get frozen nethili or canned anchovies. I got frozen Nethili fish from an Indian store and tried this Nethili fry. We like it very much.. Here comes the recipe for Nethili fry.

 

English — Anchovies

Tamil — Nethili/ Nethali

 

Ingredients
2 cup Frozen nethili fish
1 tsp Red chilli powder
½ tsp Cumin powder
½ tsp Coriander powder
½ tsp Fennel seeds (perum serakam)
1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
½ tsp Lemon juice or vinegar
Salt for taste
Few curry leaves

Instructions

Procedure:

Step 1:

Wash and clean the fish. Mix it along with the above ingredients and allow it to marinate for 15 to 30 mins.

Step 2:

Heat oil in a pan and fry the fish. Dont crowd the pan with more fish. Fry it till it become brown color. Then throw in 2 strings of curry leaves in the oil and mix it with the fried fish. This will enhance the flavor. Enjoy with rasam rice and rice or with dosa, idli..

    Wow! I have been looking for this recipe. It tastes so good. My family has never had Tamil food but I will make it for them and I’m sure they will love it. Any suggestions for other food to accompany this for dinner? Maybe puttu?
