I know its been a very long time I posted something, I was bugged up with lots of things still, I would manage to post but not regularly, I request my readers to kindly bare with that and provide your incredible support as always. Though I haven't posted anything for a while, everyday my readers count was high and stable, I thank you for that and this encourages me to develop my blog even in my busy schedule.This time I came with a recipe which is famous with most of the non vegetarians, I personally love this recipe and my hubby too. Its been a very long time I had the anchovies fry, as I had hard time in finding it in seafood shops.
The cleaning is very simple but its a little more than the usual time for cleaning the fish, because of its size and the quantity you buy, just peel off the head and then make a slit with a knife near its neck and pull out all its intestine parts and its done. After its all peeled make sure you wash with rock salt(kalluppu) to remove any mud in it. You could make this with either frozen or the fresh fish, but my first choice would be the fresh ones.You are all set to make it and its very simple to make too. Here you go with the ingredients.
