A box of tofu will last only for few days in the refrigerator and I'm under pressure not to repeat the same tofu preparations, so what do you expect out of me??? Adding them to regular curry preparations is what I resort to…. its sooo versatile and adapts well to any dish without spoiling the original flavour. Shrimp curry is one dish which I make at least once a week and adding leftover tofu blocks in the curry helps my family slowly adjust to tofu diet and also incorporate this nutritional powerhouse in a regular meal.

Anchovies are called Nethili in Tamil. These are tini tiny fishes edible both in fresh and dried form. The dried ones are called Nethili Karuvaadu, which I've used for this recipe, coated with masala and pan fried until crisp.

Fresh Anchovies can be found in regular grocery markets under tinned foods packed with salt and preservatives. These can be used for kuzhambu preparations.

Simple fish varuval (shallow fry) with lemony flavour using fresh water Lake Trout. This is just like any other fish varuval and just sharing to let you know that this fish is quite edible in Indian style and taste similar to Salmon. Moreover want to add on all these fish varieties to my recipe database.

Silver Pomfret / Vavval, is a great fish for grilling or baking. Preparation takes less time, low calorie, healthy Indian appetizer to make any family meal sizzle.

Term Tandoori calls for use of a traditional tandoor oven or clay oven. Simple kumpati (kumbati / mann aduppu) which are popular in Indian kitchens can be used for grilling these to get smoky flavour. For those who live abroad with conventional ovens can use broil setting to get little bit of the smoky flavour. I did little bit of baking and then broiled to darken the sides.

I always love fish fries with masala stuck on it. The plain chilli powder, salt, lemon juice combo fish fries you get in the restaurants tastes like “karuvaadu”…….. atleast to me.

This is the way my mom fries fish and this recipe has been in our house for generations. The masala can be modified here and there to suit each ones need
