Chef’s Tip
Maduvai is best enjoyed when its natural oils are allowed to shine. It is perfect for a Spicy Masala Fry where the firm skin gets beautifully crisp. Alternatively, use it in a Village-Style Fish Curry (Grama Meen Kuzhambu)—the oils from the fish will blend with the tamarind and spices to create a rich, deeply flavored gravy.
