Nethili 65 | Nethili Fish Fry is a delicious starter which is loved by all age groups. It is so crispy and delicious which will make you ask for more.

I always had the desire to try this small Nethili fish. But we had access only to River Water fish. After settling down in Chennai, we get lots of sea water fish here. One of my favourite is Nethili Fish. The bones in the fish are so soft and you need not remove while eating. It will be crispy and crunchy. If the fish is little big, you can easily remove by making a slit in the middle and remove the bone.

The recipe is so simple and easy. Rice flour and Corn flour gives the crispy texture to the recipe. As we love spicy food at home, I have added red chilli powder and pepper powder. You can adjust spice level according to your taste. Try this recipe and let me know your comments. Follow step by step Procedure with pictures.
