Chef’s Tip

Sen Nagarai is famous for its use in Meen Varuval (spicy fish fry). Its skin crisps up perfectly when pan-fried with a traditional chili and turmeric marinade. If you prefer gravy, it is best suited for a Thin, Tangy Coconut Curry where its delicate flakes can absorb the aromatics without being overshadowed. Since it is a tender fish, add it to the curry in the final few minutes of cooking to ensure it stays intact!
