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.

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?
