Fish Puttu Recipe / Vaalai Meen puttu Recipe /Shredded fish Recipe

 

Fish puttu/Vala puttu is one of my favourite dish. My mom's special Recipe too... she used to prepare this for me. Usually fish puttu is made out of sura meen/shark, but my mom used to make this puttu recipe with thuppuvaalai fish. Boil the fish in a pot with salt ,water and turmeric and later the bones are removed to make puttu ,but sura meen has less bones, we can easily removed, but vaalaimeen has number of small bones and it is little bit tough to remove all those little bones. It may be a laborious process and takes time. But the taste is yummy.
