nethili fry recipe

Nethili varuval recipe a quick fish fry using anchovies.This nethili fish fry serves as a great crispy starter or as a sidedish for rice.This nethili meen varuval has become gugus favorite too so another reason to make again and post it here 🙂

Anchovies marinated in spices and fried till crisp makes it super tasty.The center bone is not hard as in other fish varieties so when fried can be eaten as such.There are different methods of fish fry and this method I tried recently comes out super crispy and tasty too.

This nethili fry is very famous appetizer in Kerala.But I’ve made it in our south indian style masala, it tastes super good.
