Poondu Vennai Meen recipe

Clean and wash the fish thoroughly with water, drain excess water, and keep it aside.

Place a pan over medium flame and sprinkle some olive oil in it. Once the oil is hot, place the fish fillets in it. Let the fillets cook and sprinkle salt, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, and black pepper, and add lemon juice over it. Grill it on both sides and once the fillets turn crispy, transfer them to a plate

For the sauce, place a pan over medium flame and add cloves in it. Roast them lightly and then transfer them to a grinder jar. Grind them to form a coarse powdered mixture. Now, place another pan over medium flame and add butter along with chopped garlic to it. Saute these well until the butter melts and then add ground cloves, remaining sugar along with salt and black pepper powder over it. Mix it well until the mixture turns aromatic.

Remove the sauce from the flame, pour over the grilled fish fillets. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Serve it hot.
