I have always loved seafood and have relished and devoured all the seafood delicacies Amma prepares at home.
Matthi or Sardine is a fish known for containing omega 3 fatty acids. Though the fish has a strong smell, the taste is divine!
To make the Matthi Fry seen in the picture, you will need:
Sardine - cut, gutted, cleaned - 4-6 -atleast one per person :-)
Red chilly powder - 3 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Freshly ground pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice - 1/2-1 slice
Salt - to taste
Oil - for frying (shallow or deep per preference)
Method:
- Make slits on both sides of the fish
- Take a mixing bowl and mix the powders into a smooth paste with the lemon juice
- Marinade the fish and leave for 30 minutes
- Heat oil in a skillet, and place the fish and start frying on medium heat
- Turn the fish after one side is done
- Remove on to a kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil
Serve with rice/ chapathi

Welcome back Shreya, glad to see your post.
It's your blog, you can post anything you like, don't have to say anything to anybody. Readers always have a choice to say something or not, doesn't matter. That's how I feel.

Shreya I would love to eat this. I love sardines and they are so healthy for you, I bet this was a yummy meal!
I am sobbing hard,,really hard..am missing this fish so much..n the pic reminded me of my good ole' days at home..mom's food so many things..cant tell more..hmm..They look divine..
great to see you back :)
my mom's version also uses shallots in the masala that's the only change. shallots give a lovely flavour when fried so its really yummy, try it next time :) i used to tell amma not to put this in my lunchbox becuz it stinks badly, especially when u leave it closed in ur lunchbox for a few hours! hehe, those were the days :)
Welcom back! The fry looks too good, but i love with masala and gravy!:)
