    Anchovies Fish Fry Recipe

    Recipe Cuisine: South Indian |  Recipe Category : Appetizer
    Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time : 10 mins |Serves: 4 |Author : Sharmila
    Ingredients:               

    Anchovies – ¼ kg
    Oil for frying
    Curry leaves a handful
    To Marinate :
    Egg - 1
    Rice flour – 1 tsp
    Red Chilli powder – 2 tsp
    Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
    Pepper powder – 1 tsp
    Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
    Lemon juice – 1 tsp
    Salt as needed
        Step by step Method : 
         1.    Clean the fish really well. In a vessel add in the ingredients mentioned in the “To Marinate” section one by one and form a paste.
         2.    Add the cleaned anchovies in to the marinade and leave it for 30 mins – 1 hours.
         3.    Heat oil for frying, once it is hot add in the Marinated Anchovies When the anchovies are almost cooked add in the curry leaves and fry till crisp.
         4.    Strain them and set in a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
      Notes:
          ·       You marinate the fish and refrigerate it for a 3 days and fry the fish whenever needed.
          ·       You can skip adding curry leaves if you don’t prefer but it gives a really nice flavor and in most of the restaurants they serve Anchovies fish fry along with crispy fried curry leaves.
          ·       I used big anchovies variety for this fish fry recipe.
    You can use the same marinate for any other fishes!! If your anchovies are small you can eat it with the bones itself. Goes very well with fish curry and Rice J
