Description

Vela Meen, or silver bellies, are small, shiny fish that are common along the Indian coastline. They are known for their slightly firm texture and distinctive flavor, which makes them perfect for frying and curried dishes. Often deep-fried with spices or cooked in tangy tamarind-based curries, silver bellies are a regional favorite.

These fish are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, essential for bone health. Their high omega-3 content also makes them beneficial for maintaining a healthy heart and overall wellness.
