About Fish fry chettinad

Fish Fry Chettinad is a flavorful dish from the Chettinad cuisine of Tamil Nadu, India, known for its bold and aromatic spices. This delicacy is typically made with fresh fish, marinated in a blend of turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder, ginger-garlic paste, and the signature Chettinad spice mix, which includes fennel seeds, peppercorns, and curry leaves. The fish is shallow-fried or pan-seared until crispy, preserving its natural oils and nutrients. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins, the dish supports heart health, brain function, and tissue repair. However, the frying process can increase calorie and fat content, making portion size and preparation methods critical for a balanced diet. Opting for minimal oil and pairing this dish with fiber-rich sides like steamed vegetables or whole grains enhances its nutritional value while maintaining its robust taste.
