Nei Meen Varuval

Nei Meen Varuval is a typical fish fry made with the fish variety called as the Nei Meen. With simple spices and roasting the fish, it makes a wonderful starter or a side dish for rice.

We only buy Vanjaram Meen and sometimes Shankara for gravy. So when there was another variety that will taste great as roast, our help got this Nei Meen. Since I didnt know what variety it was, I asked her what it was and she said it was told her as Nei Sudumbu. On further checking she was confused if it only Nei Meen or it is called Nei Sudumbu. Whatever it is, my kids said it tasted great.

This is the final dish for the final week of BM#105 where I have been doing One Country, One Category.
