Sardine sukka
Sardines are small forage fish that belong to the Herring family. This fish does have a strong fishy odor and are a bit of an acquired taste. The fishy odor of the sardines comes from their fat. This fat is highly unsaturated and is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 is good for the Heart and has many other health benefits.
This Sardine Sukka recipe is a fusion between Mangalorean as well as a Kerala style dry Sardine recipe that i came across a while back. It was an instant hit in my house. Do try this recipe out and let me know how you liked it.
