Meen Varuval Masala (Fish Fry Masala) is a flavorful spice blend used to marinate fish before frying, commonly in Tamil Nadu cuisine. It typically contains ingredients like red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, and mustard seeds. This masala enhances the taste and aroma of fish, making it crispy on the outside and tender inside. Health benefits include the anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric and the rich omega-3 fatty acids from fish, which promote heart health. To preserve its potency and flavor, store the masala in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
