Nethili Fry: Crunchy, Spicy, Irresistible

Nethili Fry is a beloved coastal delicacy that transforms humble anchovies into a crispy, spicy treat. Fresh nethili (anchovies) are cleaned and marinated in a mixture of red chili powder, turmeric, and other aromatic spices. They are then coated in seasoned rice flour and deep-fried to golden perfection. The result is a dish with an irresistible crunch and a burst of flavors – the natural saltiness of the fish complemented by the heat of the spices. Served with a squeeze of lemon, Nethili Fry makes for an excellent appetizer or accompaniment to your main course.
