Manthal

Description

Maanthal, or sole fish, is known for its flat body and delicate, mild flavor. The fine texture of its flesh makes it an excellent choice for light and subtle dishes. Maanthal is often pan-fried or baked with simple seasonings like lemon, garlic, and herbs to highlight its natural taste. It is also used in traditional South Indian curries where the fish absorbs the rich, spiced coconut-based gravy, enhancing its taste without overpowering the dish.

Sole fish is a low-fat seafood option that provides lean protein and essential nutrients such as vitamin B12 and selenium. Its light flavor appeals to those who prefer milder fish, and its high protein content makes it a healthy addition to any meal. The fish’s thin fillets cook quickly, making it convenient for both everyday meals and special occasions.
