    Vanjaram Varuval or Seer Fish Fry is one of the favorite dishes for my family. Vanjaram tastes great a deep fried side dish and kids enjoy it much.

    I have mostly seen Amma making Vanjaram or Seer Fish mainly because it only has one long bone and is easy to handle. We mostly make fry or vepudu and used to make fish gravy many years ago. Now since we don't have any takers for it, we have stopped it and make only the fry.

    My kids love this fish fry and we try to make it often, so it happens very infrequently. We had made this as part of our Sunday Lunch and had already shared the Nei Meen Varuval

    Vanjaram Fry

    Amma used to make another version of this vajaram vepudu and that used to be a hit as well. Since this is a fry, kids mostly love to enjoy this as such rather than as a side dish with rice. However, the gravy with this fish is supposed to be very tasty as well, especially when it rest for a day and enjoyed the next day. There are many songs singing praises of this notion as well.

    Ingredients Used in this fry

    To give a crispy coating, both rice flour and maida is used. It also coats the spice to be retained to the fish after it is cooked.

    The regular Indian spice powders are added along with ginger garlic paste, which makes it very delicious.

      I have no introduction to the types of fish so I am just leaving it for the experts 🙂 Glad the kids like it.

      Vanjaram is one of our favorite fish and this looks absolutely delicious. Masala coated fish fry with rasam rice is so yummy.
