'Netholi (Anchovy ) is a small fish and it is a good source of calcium. In Mid Travancore region, Netholi is known as Chooda. Really its very tasty. We can prepare anchovy as fry or thoran or curry. Here I am adding Netholi Thoran recipe. It is a traditional Kerala recipe.
INGREDIENTS
Netholi /Chooda / Anchovy - 1/2 kg
Shallots - 1 cup
Ginger - 1 piece (big)
Chilly powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
Green chilli - 6 (slit into two)
Coconut ( grated) - 1 1/2 cup
Curry leaves - 2 springs
Coconut oil - 1 teaspoon
Salt - to taste
Kudam puli (pot tamarind ) - 2 pieces
Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Dried chilly - 2
Garlic - 5 (chopped) (optional)
METHOD
Clean and wash Netholi and cook it with turmeric powder, salt and some water in medium flame. Add pieces of kudam puli to it when it get boiled. ( Tamarind juice is used some places instead of kudam puli) Crush grated coconut, turmeric powder, chilli powder and one shallot and add it to the cooked anchovy and stir. When netholi get cooked and the water completely evaporated, turn off the flame. Keep it aside.
Chop shallots and ginger into small pieces. Pour some oil into a hot pan. Add mustard seeds and dried chilli and allow it to splutter.
