Sweet And Sour Bulasi Recipe
Are you looking for ways to make fried fish more lively? You are lucky, this sweet and sour bulasi recipe is best for any fish.
I asked my mother about this small fish with a rounded head that is lodged in the freezer. She said it’s bulasi, adding that it’s a fish found both in fresh and seawater.
A Google search revealed that bulasi is called a mullet. Mullets are indeed found anywhere around the world, both in tropical and temperate; and fresh and saltwater.
My mom asked me to just fry them. However, I thought of a better idea — make it sweet and sour fish.
