Sankara (Red Snapper)

Sankara meen varuval (in Tamil) or Red snapper fish fry is a very popular and frequently cooked in South Indian style in our home. We always use sankara, which we call Aarass ki Macchi at home, more for frying purpose. Very rarely we use it for curry. Each home has their own recipe of fish fry. This recipe is from my mother in laws. She adds more spices for the fried fish and gives it a very spicy masala for the South Indian style fish fry. This recipe is entirely different from my mother’s recipe and in taste also. Apart from fry, she prepares curry, rasam and just plain rice, heaven, what else you need. This combo goes in every house and the whole family enjoys it.
