The Chettinad Meen Varuval gets a grillin!Meen Varuval is a delicious fish fry preparation of the Chettinad region. The common fish used are king fish or other types of oily fish. Meen Varuval, like the name, is a fried dish. But today, we have used a whole snapper and grilled it which makes it a healthier version. This is an amazing seafood preparation, perfect for the barbecue too.
