Fish Varuval is a spicy and aromatic South Indian dish, celebrated for its bold flavors and vibrant seasoning. This dry-style preparation uses firm fish fillets, typically marinated with turmeric, red chili powder, and other spices, then pan-fried or sautéed in a mix of curry leaves, garlic, ginger, and onions. Originating from Tamil cuisine, Fish Varuval is a staple in Tamil households and often served alongside rice or flatbreads. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, the fish contributes to heart health and joint support. The use of turmeric and spices offers anti-inflammatory benefits, while curry leaves provide antioxidants. However, the cooking method may involve oils, which can increase its fat content, especially if overused. Moderation in oil and pairing with nutrient-rich sides like steamed vegetables can help balance its nutritional profile, making it a flavorful yet nourishing choice.
