Chef’s Tip
Naaku Meen is best prepared with simple flavors so its delicate taste isn't overwhelmed. It is perfect for Butter-Garlic Pan Searing or a Crispy Rava Fry. In traditional kitchens, it is often used in a Light Ginger-Tamarind Gravy. Be careful not to overcook—since it is very thin, it cooks incredibly fast, usually needing only a few minutes per side!
