Hamsi 65

Anchovy 65 or Nethili 65 is a traditional dish originating from Tamil Nadu. The dish consists of anchovies that are fried until crunchy. The anchovies are usually marinated in a mix of yogurt, lemon juice, chili powder, garam masala, black pepper, turmeric, and rice flour before they're fried in hot oil. The dish is served as an appetizer or an evening snack on weekends. It's always served hot, ideally with lemon wedges on the side.
