Nang/Lepa pannaphakri/ Sole fish chilly

Hello dear readers! Seafood is my all time favourite especially if it is home cooked. Since I decided to make separate posts for every fish I decided to share ‘Lepa pannaphkari’ recipe today. When the fish is baby it is called as ‘Nung’ and when it grows it is called as ‘Lepa’ or Sole fish. We usually discard the skin of the fish . Earlier we would cut the fish at home on “Adoli” but now there are many helpers in the market specially who do only the cutting part. So, it is very convenient for us.There are some fish which is safe to have anytime and this is one among them. ‘Lepa'(Sole fish), ‘Paiyye’, ‘Kane'(lady fish) are considered as good fish in g.s.b community. It is also served to ladies after few days of delivery specially “Alle Piyava ghashi” .
