Nethili Fish Fry

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.

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!

They’re basically made with minimum ingredients which are pantry staples. Here’s a quick sneak peek of the ingredients used to make this amazingly delicious crispy masala crackers.

● Whole wheat flour for healthier version.
● Rice flour helps in getting a nice crunch and crisp crackers.
● Maggi masala ae magic, the main ingredient of the recipe.

VARIATIONS:

Making crackers at home is super easy. Once you have the basic crackers recipe and master them, you can crank it out any time and also make variations of it by just swapping few ingredients. Here’s some of the variations

Spice – Though I have used maggi masala which is a complete aromatic spice mix, you can use spice of your choice.

Herbs — You can use your favourite herb or mixed of herbs or dried oregano. Fresh or dried herbs can be used. Crackers with herbs are the simplest and most common one. You can also add fresh minced coriander leaves, mint leaves or dill leaves.

Seeds — To make a seeded version of this cracker, you can add your favourite seed or mixed of seeds to the dough and lightly sprinkle the seeds over the brushed crackers. Few seeds that could go perfectly are Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc

Chilly — The crackers can be spiced up with a dash of chilly. I have used chilly flakes in this recipe but you can add a dash of cayenne or minced green chilly to the dough for slightly spicy homemade crackers especially for the grown-ups.

Seasonings — To take the crackers to the next level with an elegant flavor I have used onion and garlic powder. You can use other seasoning as per your plaate preference and availability. Black pepper can also be used as a substitute or Italian seasoning.

Cheese — Cheese in crackers is very common and loved by all. Sprinkle grated cheddar or parmesan cheese in dough or even sprinkle on top for a cheesy crackers.

SUBSTITUTES:

● You can use fresh or dried herbs of your choice or oregano instead of the maggi masala.
● Whole wheat flour can be replaced with all purpose flour and rice flour can be replaced with besan (gram flour) or oats flour.
● Yoi can use ghee (clarified butter) or oil instead of butter.
● Onion powder and garlic powder can be opt out if it is not available.
● You can also use Italian seasoning as a substitute to onion & garlic powder.

TIPS FOR MAKING CRISPY CRACKERS:

● Make sure your dough is not too wet or dry. It should be soft and non sticky. Some flour absorb more liquid and some less, it depends upon the quality of the flour. So best thing to do while making dough is to add water gradually.

● Roll out the dough as thin as possible for a crispier crackers.

● Prick the cut-outs with forknor skewer to prevent the crackers from puffing while baking.

● Brush the crackers with butter after you place them on the baking tray before popping them inside the oven for baking. This will give the cracker beautiful golden edges and crunch.

● Rotating the tray halfway through baking allows the crackers to bake evenly and makes the crackers crisp and brown uniformly. This is done because different parts of the oven heat unevenly.

● Once the crackers are out of oven, let the crackers stand in the baking tray for few minutes, then transfer to cooling rack and allow to cool down completely. Allowing the crackers in the baking tray will make the crackers crisp up further as they cool down.

STORAGE

These crackers last for a long time. We only need to store them in airtight container over the counter and it will last for more than month. Storing in airtight container is important or else they’ll lose their crispness.

If the crackers gets soft, they can be crisped up by popping then in the oven for few minutes.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

These homemade crackers can be served not only with tea/coffee but as a snacks or appetizer with your choice of hummus, guacamole, salsa, a cheesy dip, mayonnaise, ketchup or your favourite dip sauce, soups etc – the options are endless!

So do try the recipe and do not forget to share your thoughts about the recipe with me here.

All of the above recipes are super easy to prepare, ready in no time, and will never disappoint you.

Here’s how to make crispy masala crackers.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Yeilds: 35-40

☆ 1 cup = 240 ml
☆ 1 tablespoon = 15 ml
☆ 1 teaspoon = 5 ml

Ingredients to make masala crackers:

¾ cup whole wheat flour (atta)
¼ cup rice flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 packet maggi masala e magic (see notes)
½ tsp onion powder ( optional)
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
1 tsp chilli flakes
2-3 tbsp white sesame seeds
¼ tsp salt (see notes)
2 tbsp butter melted or oil/ghee + 1-2 tsp extra for greasing tray and crackers
⅓ cup water (80 ml)

Step by step pictorial instructions to make masala crackers:

In a mixing bowl sieve the whole wheat flour, rice flour and baking powder.

Add in the onion powder, garlic powder, chilly flakes, sesame seeds, maggi masala e magic and salt. Mix all the ingredients together well.

Add in the melted butter. Mix well with hands until you get a crumbly mixture. Add in water gradually and continue mixing until it starts coming together. Knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes until it forms a soft smooth dough. Cover and let the dough rest for few minutes.

Meanwhile preheat oven @180° C for 10 minutes. Also grease baking tray with butter or oil. You can use parchment paper or baking mat.

Divide the dough into portions. Roll them into balls and flatten them with a rolling pin ½ cm thickness. You can roll it thicker too if you like thicker crackers.

If your oven is smaller roll and shape the crackers in batches because you won’t be able to bake all the cookies at a time. Make sure you cover the dough with damp cloth to prevent from drying out.

Using cookie cutter cut the crackers into desired shapes and prick the crackers randomly with a help of a fork or skewer. This will prevent the crackers from puffing while baking.

Using cookie cutter makes the crackers looks fancy and beautiful. If you don’t have cookie cutters, you can just use a knife and cut out square or diamond shapes or use bottle or small container cap to give round shape crackers.

Place the cut-outs onto the prepared baking tray by leaving some space in between each crackers. Lightly brush the crackers with melted butter.

Place the baking tray in the middle rack and bake at a preheated oven @180° C for 10-15 minutes. Since oven temperatures vary the baking time will vary, so keep a close watch. The baking times also depend on the thickness of your crackers. Thicker crackers may take longer to bake through.

Remove the crackers from the oven. Allow to stand in the baking tray for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a cooling rack and let your crackers cool down completely.

Store them in airtight container.

Enjoy them with your tea/coffee or have it as a snack with your favourite dip.

NOTES:

● Maggi masala can be replaced with herbs. You can use dried or fresh herbs of your choice or oregano.
● Maggi masala has already salt added hence use less salt or totally skip it.
● Whole wheat flour can be replaced with all purpose flour.
● You can use besan (gram flour) or oats flour instead of rice flour.
● Ghee ( clarified butter) or oil can be used instead of butter.
● Since oven temperatures vary, baking time will way so keep a close watch.
● The baking time also depend on the thickness of your crackers. Thicker crackers may take longer to bake through.
