Dried Silver Belly Fish (ഉണക്ക മുള്ളൻ - Unakka Mullan)

The Golden Crunch of Heritage Palakkad

Rediscover a classic South Indian favorite with our Authentic Dried Silver Belly Fish (Unakka Mullan). Small in size but massive in flavor, Mullan is beloved across Kerala for its incredible transformation when fried. Sourced and sun-cured with the traditional expertise of House of Palakkad, this dried fish brings a nostalgic, crispy, and savory experience to every meal.

Each batch of our Unakka Mullan is selected for its freshness and consistent size. The fish are meticulously cleaned and cured using a light, balanced salting method before being slow-dried under the intense Palakkad sun. This artisanal process preserves the fish's natural oils and silvery sheen, ensuring that when you cook them, they achieve a perfect, golden-brown crunch that pairs effortlessly with a bowl of warm rice and Morozhichu Kootan.

Why It’s Special:

• Ultimate Crispy Texture: Silver Belly is prized for its thin bones and lean meat, which become delightfully crunchy when deep-fried or sautéed.

• Intense Savory Sweetness: The sun-drying process concentrates the natural sweetness of the Mullan, creating a deep, complex savory profile that is uniquely satisfying.

• Traditional Salt-Curing: We use a heritage recipe for salting that ensures the fish is perfectly preserved without being overly salty, keeping the flavor balanced.

• Small-Batch Purity: Hand-processed in small quantities with absolutely no artificial preservatives, colors, or chemical drying agents—just pure fish and sea salt.
