Small Dried Sole Fish (ചെറിയ ഉണക്ക മാന്തൾ - Cheriya Unakka Maanthal) - 250 Grams

The Crispy Coastal Snack of Palakkad

Discover the bite-sized version of a coastal favorite with our Authentic Small Dried Sole Fish (Cheriya Unakka Maanthal). While the larger Sole is prized for its elegance, these smaller selections are celebrated for their incredible ability to become perfectly crisp from head to tail. Prepared in the traditional heritage style of House of Palakkad, these sun-dried treasures offer a concentrated burst of salty, savory goodness in every bite.

Each batch of our Small Sole fish is hand-selected for its petite size and delicate profile. The fish are cleaned with precision, lightly cured with sea salt, and dried under the intense sun until they reach the ideal texture. Because they are smaller, they fry up much faster than their larger counterparts, resulting in a lightweight, golden-brown crunch that makes them the perfect side dish for Puzhukku or a simple meal of rice and dal.

Why It’s Special:

• Maximum Crispiness: Their smaller size and thin profile mean they achieve a superior, uniform crunch when fried, making them a favorite for those who love a crispy texture.

• Mild & Sweet Brine: Known for having the most delicate flavor in the dried fish family, these small Sole pieces offer a subtle savory sweetness that isn't overpowering.

• Traditional Sun-Curing: We follow age-old Palakkad methods of light salting and slow sun-drying to ensure the natural oils and nutritional value are locked in.

• Artisanal & Clean: Small-batch processed with zero chemical additives or artificial preservatives—just the pure coastal essence of Kerala.
