Anchovies Fish Fry Recipe | Nethili Meen Varuval

Anchovies Fish Fry/Nethili Meen Varuval is one of the simple and easy fries from South India which can be prepared even by the novice. This fry requires only a few ingredients and tastes delicious. I have already posted Fish Fry using Kingfish.

Anchovies fish is also known as Nethili meen in Tamil. Today I’m using fresh fish to make this fry. You can even use the dry fish for the same fry. Method of making both are same and both tastes equally good. Once you marinate this fish let it rest for at least half an hour. So that all the ingredients get infused into the fish. You can even add half tsp of pepper powder along with the ingredients. This fry can be had as an accompaniment with Rasam, Kingfish Fish Curry or Anchovies Fish Curry. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
