Chettinad Fish Fry

2 Comments

chettinad fish fry recipe

Have you ever tried Chettinad style food that is well-known for their extra spice kick? Yes, I’m talking about the super spicy, aromatic cuisine that captivated the appetite of foodies across the country. It’s a spice lover’s haven!

When it comes to fish fry, I usually go with Kerala style fried fish. But, whenever I have more time, I prefer this elaborated version of fish fry.

I think my favorite part of this Chettinad fish fry is the wide range of whole spices used in the recipe. When fried, they make the fish even tastier!
