Description

Andhra Chilli Fish is a lip-smacking South Indian dish that showcases the bold and spicy culinary style of Andhra Pradesh. Tender fish fillets are marinated, fried to a golden crisp, and then coated in a sizzling tempering of crushed garlic, green chilies, curry leaves, and sometimes dry red chilies — all tossed in a flavorful spice blend.

Unlike the Indo-Chinese Chilli Fish, this Andhra-style version leans heavily into native flavors: the pungency of garlic, the heat of chilies, and the unique aroma of curry leaves. It’s less saucy and more dry-fried, making it ideal as a starter or side dish with rice and dal.

Perfect for spice enthusiasts and seafood lovers, Andhra Chilli Fish offers a balance of texture, aroma, and deep, satisfying heat in every bite.
