Anchovies Stir Fry / Nethili Meen Varuval

◀Previous Post
Next Post▶
Anchovies Stir Fry / Nethili Meen Varuval is one of my Childhood favourite. Here in my place these fishes are’nt available all round the year. This is somehow seasonal. Now in september these fishes are in season. Anchovies are the tiniest fishes and fries in very less time. They are tiny in size but provides essential fatty acids, protein and many other nutrients. In addition to protein anchovies are rich in calcium and iron too. Mom always fries anchovies in coconut oil which can be the best flavour i guess. Anchovies Stir fried in Coconut oil and Curry leaves is simply tasty. Anchovies sometimes have a slight bitter taste. The process of roasting it with coconut oil and curry leaves makes it super delicious. Coconut oil improves digestion. Its good for skin and hair health. It supports immunity. Boosts metabolism. Slows fine lines. And many more. Above all it gives an awesome flavour to the dish. If you are a coconut oil lover then this recipe is a real delight.

Due to Unplanned Travel Plans i could not cook something new for the protien rich themes. I think until this month end i cant cook anything new. I am away from my kitchen atleast from past 10 days. All my archives of Veg recipes are almost over or am not happy about my clicks with few of them. I always have Non Veg Recipes handy in archives. These are my life savers now. So the rest of my recipes for the protein rich Blogging Marathon theme running till the end of this month is going to be mostly Non Veg Recipes

  • 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

    The flavor that coconut oil imparts is just amazing. But I have to agree that it’s an acquired taste. I am using it so much more than before even though the husband is not a big fan. I use it even as my lip balm :D. Coming to the post, I can imagine how difficult it must be to be away from the kitchen and the camera. But thank god for the drafts !!
