Fish Fries

Nethili Fry is a crispy and flavorful seafood delicacy made with small anchovies (nethili) coated in a spiced marinade and deep-fried to golden perfection. The fish is marinated with a blend of turmeric, chili powder, garlic, and other aromatic spices, allowing it to absorb bold, tangy, and spicy flavors. Once fried, the fish becomes wonderfully crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside. Often garnished with fresh curry leaves and lemon wedges, Nethili Fry is a popular starter or side dish, perfect for pairing with rice, rasam, or simply enjoying as a crunchy seafood snack.
