Instructions
Clean the Fish. Remove the waste from the fish.
Add in all the marination ingredients into the fish. Leave it for atleast 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a wok.
Add in Curry Leaves. Roast Until crisp.
Remove them from oil. Add in the marinated fish into the same oil.
Roast the fish until they are completely cooked.
Stir gently. Add in the roasted curry leaves into the anchovies fry.
Anchovies stir fry is now ready to serve.
Notes
Anchovies are tiny and tender fish and they cook very easily.
While roasting the fish in coconut oil stir gently or the fish might break easily.
Stirring the fish while roasting is essential as it might stick to the bottom.
Apart from the marination time the anchovies stir fry can be made in under 30 minutes.
Anchovies have tender bones. I still prefer removing the major bones before consuming
