Anchovies marinated with spices and deep fried in oil to perfection. Crispy, crunchy and flavorful nethili meen fry recipe. It serves as a perfect appetizer and good for side dish too.
Nethili aka Anchovy fry is a very popular dish in South India, be it at home or at restaurant menu. It’s the favourite dish of many. It is prepared by marinating the fish with spices like chilli powder, turmeric powder, pepper powder, coriander powder, ginger garlic paste, rice flour, cornstarch and then deep fried until brown and crispy.
Nethili fish fry is a simple and super easy recipe prepared with handful ingredients which are easily available in our pantry. So now you can make this restaurant style anchovies fry at home and serve it as a starter, snack or side dish with meal.
Anchovies fish fry is an amazing fish fry which is loved by all age groups. It is ridiculously delicious and so crispy which will make you ask for more.
This restaurant style nethili fish fry is one of my personal favourite among the many fishes and sea food I love. Even my husband and my kiddo love this as much as I do so we can say its a family favourite dish.
Anchovy is also called nethili or chooda or netholi in different parts of India. Anchovies is a small fish variant. It has tiny bones which are soft. The center bone is not hard as in other big fishes. We need not remove the bones while eating because when fried the bones become crispy and can be eaten as such.
Nethili meen fry aka nethili varuval is a quick fish fry using anchovies. You can also called this nethili meen fry as nethili 65, it is just like the Tamil Nadu’s famous chicken 65 and prawn 65 recipe. The fish tastes heavenly and spicy which a fish lover should definitely try. This fish fry is so addictive that you can’t stop with few. I am sure you going to love this one!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
● Quick and easy
● Needs handful of pantry staples
● Crispy and crunchy
● Can be served as a starter, party appetizer, snacks or side dish with meal.
● Perfectly golden fried under 10 minutes.
● Flavorful
● Ideal for all age groups including kids.
Coming to the recipe, I have used fresh large size anchovies aka nethili fish. I have cleaned the fish well and removed the head and tail too. You can keep the head and tail intact if you wish. Fresh fish taste much better than frozen one. Along with spice masala powders I have used ginger garlic paste and combination of rice flour and cornstarch/cornflour for adding crispness and crunch to the fish. The fish is marinated with the spice mix and kept marinated for a minimum of 30 minutes. Then the fish is deep-fried. You can shallow fry as well.
You can use other small fish for this recipe. The dish tastes best when served with a side combo of steamed rice or as a starter with onion rings, lemon wedges, green chillies and fried curry leaves.
PRO TIPS
● Marinate the fish for longer duration. This will allow the spices to penetrate nicely into the fish and make it more flavorful.
● You can fry the fish ahead of time to avoid rushing at the end moment for any party or gatherings. Just fry the fish for few minutes. You dont need to make them brown and crisp. Just before serving heat oil and drop the previously fried fishes and fry them for a minute. You will get a crisp and crunchy fish.
● Fry the fish on medium flame, just increase the flame to high just few seconds before taking off. Be sure to stir constantly. This will brown evenly and make it crisp.

Rui Macher Kosha refers to Rohu Fish Curry in Bengali. This Bengali fish curry is an every day dish in the Bengali household. Fried golden brown pieces of succulent rui aka rohu (Indian carp) in a spicy and thick tomato based gravy is a truly delightful fish curry that all of us relish at home.
Rui macher rosha or rohu fish curry is a kind of spicy fish preparation with tomato base gravy. Here the rohu fish is marinated in turmeric powder and salt, then golden fried in mustard oil. The fried fish is then cooked in a spiced tomato onion based gravy. Thus, resulting in a tender fish having absorbed the wonderful flavors of the gravy. This fish curry is best served with a piping hot steamed rice.
Rohu or Rui is freshwater carp very popular in Bengal. There are many varieties of bengali fish curry using different kinds of fish. Amongst the many, this rohu fish curry is one of the simplest and common one.
In Bengali cuisine, curries are named differently based on the spices used and also based on the different veggies used in the curry. The term ‘Rosha’ refers to something that has a thick gravy base. Rosha is a spicy curry preparation that can be vegetarian or non-vegetarian. In the fish version of rosha potatoes are added and some even add cauliflower aka phool gobi along with the basic Bengali spices.
Like in most Bengali cooking, whether fish, meat or vegetables, this too is prepared in mustard oil. Mustard oil gives a lovely pungent flavor to any dish. If it’s not available near you or you don’t want to use it, you can use your choice of vegetable oil or any cooking oil instead.
When one is craving to have something spicy, then this is the perfect recipe. You can use ‘rohu fish’ or ‘katla fish’ or any other fresh water carp. You can make this curry in the same way with your other favourite fish too.
I love this dish because of its simplicity. To make this Bengali fish curry we dont need any fancy ingredients and techniques. It is prepared with basic and limited ingredients which we use in everyday cooking. Nevertheless the brilliant flavor and colour of the dish will amaze you and the taste is finger licking good and so delectable.
This rohu fish curry is one fish curry which we make back home whenever we feel like making something Indian style with masalas and spices and not the traditional naga fish dish. Little did I know that time that I am making a Bengali style fish curry. We nagas dont use much of these Indian spices. The dishes are mostly zero oil which may be steamed or boiled. The food are rarely fried and very rarely we use these spices in a naga kitchen.
This rui macher rosha recipe is moderately high on chillies as we prefer spicy food which is nicely counter balanced by the sourness of the tomatoes, as well as the sweetness from the onions. Nevertheless one can adjust the spice level as per their heat preference.
VARIATIONS
● You may even add potatoes and cauliflower to the gravy.
● You can add a dash of sugar or raisins to the recipe.
● Whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon, cloves etc can also be added to this fish curry.
● You can also use pureed the tomatoes. Just roughly chopped them and puree them in in a mixie or blender.
I made a simple recipe video of this lip-smacking authentic bengali fish curry for my readers which I have shared below. Do watch and please SUBSCRIBE to my channel if you haven’t yet. It will mean a lot to me and motivate me to come up with more videos for my readers. As always looking forward to your feedbacks!

Catfish filets, fried with a thin and crispy batter, for a traditional Southern-Style Fried Catfish.
Keywords: catfish, fried catfish, Southern style catfish
Next you need to let the catfish filets dry really well – using a rack works best. The more moisture you can remove from the catfish, the crispier you will get the fish when it fries.
Next comes the seasoning… I like to add a base layer of salt & pepper and then top that lightly with a cajun seasoning. For this recipe, I’m using my Killer Hogs AP Seasoning and Malcom’s King Craw – but you can use any all purpose seasoning or any cajun seasoning you like. Just make sure to go light when seasoning these catfish filets.
After seasoning, it’s time to bread this fish. I like to keep it dry and simple here… I take 2 cups of cornmeal, place it in a ziplock bag, season it with my AP and King Craw and mix it together really well. Then you can add 2-4 fillets to the bag, shake the bag and then place your lightly breaded catfish back on the rack to dry for another 15 minutes before frying.
Now comes the easy part – drop your catfish in 350-375 oil (I like to use peanut oil) and fry for around 8 minutes. You can tell the catfish is done when the frying slows down and the fillet floats to the top. Just don’t overcrowd the pot while frying your fish – it’s best to work in batches.
And that’s it! Let the fish drain and serve it up with some homemade tartar sauce (recipe below)… this is how you cook perfectly fried catfish!
