FISH PUTTU/FISH PORIYAL

Puttu/Porial with fish may sound strange. But the taste will make you to empty the plate. Fish fry is the most common recipe which all do with fish. But deep fry needs more oil.

So fish puttu is a beat recipe for those who don’t want to eat deep fried food. This is a diet recipe but tasty too. The recipe is very simple to prepare.

I’am bored of doing fish fry every time. So i surfed for different dish with fish. Fish puttu attracted me. I tried fish puttu with few alterations and it came out very well. I found many tried fish puttu with Shark but I tried with Basa fillet.
