Kale is one tough leafy vegetable with woodsy stalks and chewy leaves similar to Murungai Keerai, leaving us with few recipe options. Cooking this with lentils was considerably easy for intake with minimal effort. Tried this with Bengal gram, following traditional kootu preparation and had no problem with picky eaters.  Fresh kale (green or purple) belong to the Wild cabbage / Broccoli family, rich in anti-oxidants with high nutrition content. These type of veggies usually get a red carpet welcome in my kitchen and will be honoured with lentil studded crown.

This is a small fish with small bones. You can even eat the bones of this dish. That bones makes the dish tastier i think.

Here in US, you can get frozen nethili or canned anchovies. I got frozen Nethili fish from an Indian store and tried this Nethili fry. We like it very much.. Here comes the recipe for Nethili fry.

 

English — Anchovies

Tamil — Nethili/ Nethali
