Boothai Masala Fry

It was   raining heavily  outside and  I could not go out  so I was sitting and watching one Facebook  food page.   There  I saw  one “kaane fish masala”  pic and recipe by  kudpiraj mam.  When I  saw the  pic, I   really felt  its so mouth watering.  I could not  wait till I get  kanne(lady fish),  so  I  ran to kitchen,    in my fridge  I had  cut and cleaned  boothai(Mathi/sardine).    So I thought  to prepare  masala fry from  boothai  following  Kudpi raj mam’s   recipe.    it is  really tasty and quick to prepare dish.  Now it has become  one of my favourite  fish curry in my list.  This  is an authentic Kundapur Bunts style fish masala fry.
