Are canned sardines in oil or anchovies (canned) that we get in the U.S. equivalent to Karuvaadu? Can I use this for making Karuvaadu kuzhambu?

hallo meen,

here one of my neighbour bought the Karuvaadu like we can get in India, in US, American stores are available near the fish isle or fish section, its named only on the top of the cover salted fish,dry fish, (not the canned fish),you can wash little bit then you can use it, my neighbour told its tasty, it come out well, i didn't use that, so i dont know the taste. you can search that, if you need more information, i will ask them.

thanks, hemakk

Hi
In chinese stores or Asian shops we can get karuvadu like the ones which we get in India.
You can make kuzhambu with those dry fishes.
thanks
Devi

Meen,

I saw good dry fish packets in kerala grocery stores. Check if you have one in your area.
