ABOUT Meen Peera Vatichathu RECIPE

Meen Peera Vatichathu is a mouth watering Kerala dish prepared using fish, coconut and kudam puli. I have used raw mango for kudam puli here. You can use irumpan puli too. This is generally prepared with small fish like sardines or anchovies (netholi) or dry prawns.
