Sab Dried Katta 200g

Type: Premium dried Queenfish chunks (Katta Karawala), bone-in.

Texture & Flavor: Intensely savory, deeply salted, and firm. It offers a dense, meaty bite that holds up perfectly under heat, releasing a profound umami depth into any dish it joins.

Role: A classic local flavor enhancer used sparingly as a savory centerpiece or crumbled into side dishes to add a punch of sharp, salty ocean richness.

Best Used For:

• Spicy Katta Karawala Baduma (Dry Fish Fry): Deep-frying small pieces until shatteringly crisp, then tossing them with a heavy hand of sliced red onions, green chillies, pieces of tomato, and crushed red pepper flakes for an iconic rice side dish.

• Thick Coconut Curries: Simmering chunks in a rich Kirata (white coconut curry) base alongside raw jackfruit (Polos), green bananas, or ash plantains. The salty fish infuses the creamy gravy beautifully.

• Savory Crumb Accent: Mincing fried pieces finely and mixing them into fresh coconut sambol or hot chili pastes to add an instant depth of savory flavor.
