意思
Cooking fish by frying.
文化背景
Fried fish is considered a 'soul food'. Even if there are many curries, a meal is often considered incomplete without a small piece of 'varuthathu'. In Christian weddings and feasts, 'Meen Varuthathu' (often large slices of King Fish) is a prestigious item on the menu. In the north, they often use 'Porikkuka'. The spices are also slightly different, often including more garlic and fennel seeds. Fishermen often fry the smallest, freshest catch immediately after coming ashore. This is called 'fresh fry' and is highly prized.
The 'Noun' Trick
If you want to talk about the dish itself, use 'Meen Varuthathu'. If you want to talk about the action, use 'Meen Varukkuka'.
Oil Matters
In Kerala, if you don't use coconut oil, it's technically not the authentic 'Meen Varukkuka'!
