Shark Scramble Recipe | Sura Puttu

Shark Scramble is a delicious shredded fish stir fry which resembles and tastes like scrambled egg. We use baby shark (paal sura in Tamil) to make this recipe. Fish is boiled, then shredded and then stir-fried along with onion and other spices.

You can use any fish to make this fry, but shark tastes absolutely delicious. I haven’t tasted this fish fry in my childhood. After marriage, my SIL used to make this delicious fish scramble and learned it from her. The same fry once I tasted in my friend’s place and it tasted even better. My SIL uses fennel seeds directly while sauteeing. But my friend suggested that the fennel seeds must be coarsely crushed or powdered and then added while sauteeing to get the nice flavor.

The following things should be noted to make the best shark puttu. Use a heavy bottom kadai. The entire process should be made on medium-low flame only. Do not leave it unattended as it may get burnt easily. Boil shark for 2 mins only. Do not over boil as the shark may turn to a rubbery consistency. Shred the cooked shark into small chunks. Do not shred it finely as a powder. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
