Salaya Fish Deep Fried

Salaya Fish Deep Fried

Salaya is a popular Sri Lankan fish which is also known as healthy. ( Salaya english name : Sardinella gibbosa ) With lot of small bones, common way to cook these salaya fish is as a deep fried dish.In Sri Lanka we call this dish as ‘Malu Badala‘.However you can also cook salaya fish as a fish curry.

I like when salaya fish is deep fried. Although you can use a batter to cover the fish, this is my mom’s favourite way to deep fry salaya fish. And of course I love to taste these fried fish without batter simply because of its crunchy taste which any batter fried fish cannot give.

As always, I enjoyed my recent Sri Lanka holiday tasting some food that I can only find in Sri Lanka. In that recipe series which I enjoyed in Sri Lanka, here is the next Sri Lankan recipe. Enjoy salaya fish deep fried and without any batter.

How do you deep fry salaya fish? Do you use any batter or do you fry as in this recipe? Most of the time I deep fry small fish without batter.

Please share your thoughts.
