Sura Puttu is a traditional South Indian side dish prepared by steaming shark fish & tempering it with onion & spices. The texture turns soft and flaky, and the spices added are very minimal so the fish taste stays as it is. It is commonly made in Tamil Nadu homes and served along with rice, rasam or even simple curd rice. Sura Puttu increases the lactation, very healthy and could be relished as a wholesome dish or as a side dish in lunch meal.

Notes
- Fresh Jeera– I usually crush jeera fresh because it gives better aroma and blends nicely in the puttu.
- Shredding – I usually make sure the fish is cooked soft so it shreds without any hard pieces.
- Slow roasting – I have noticed the taste comes better when you roast in medium low flame. It browns slowly.
- Onion & garlic – I usually add little extra because it brings more flavor and soft texture.
- Removing bones – I always check twice for small bones after shredding so it is safe to eat.
