👨🍳 Serving Suggestion: Golden Rava Fry
Nanku is world-famous when prepared as a Rava Fry:
-
Marinate the cleaned fish with ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, and a hint of tamarind or lemon for tanginess.
-
Coat the fish generously with fine semolina (rava) mixed with a pinch of rice flour for extra crunch.
-
Shallow fry until the coating is golden and crisp. The contrast between the crunchy exterior and the buttery soft interior is irresistible!
Cooking Note: Because Nanku is a thin, delicate fish, it cooks very quickly. A few minutes on each side is all you need to lock in the moisture and flavor.
