I love Nethili / Anchioves 65... My hubby ordered this recipe usually in restaurant.. But in hotels they prepared the fish with bones my son didn't like this fry because of the bone.. but I cleans these tiny fish and remove the bones and only fries the freshly part.. it is easier to chew and eat them not having to worry about those tiny bones...
My son also enjoyed this fish fry... I was suprised to see this so sure all kids must like this.. But this is my opinion if you find tiny version of Anchioves you need not remove the bones and directly marinate the fish and fry them... Many famous south indian restaurants serve this nethili fish fry in a bed of fried curry leaves..
