Sab Dried Sprats 200g

Type: Premium sun-dried small anchovies / sprats (Haalmasso), cleaned and ready for use.

Texture & Flavor: Shatteringly crisp when fried, or pleasantly tender when simmered. They pack a concentrated, intensely savory ocean punch with a naturally salty, deep umami finish.

Role: The undisputed king of dried seafood in the local kitchen, acting as an instant flavor elevator, an everyday crunchy side dish, or a savory backbone for vegetable curries.

Best Used For:

• Classic Haalmasso Baduma (Sprats Fry): Deep-frying the sprats until golden and crisp, then tossing them with a heavy hand of sliced red onions, cracked green chillies, rampe (pandan leaves), and chili flakes, finished with a generous squeeze of fresh lime.

• Creamy Dhal & Sprats Curry: Dropping a small handful of un-fried sprats directly into a simmering pot of red dhal (parippu) or a white potato curry to infuse the coconut milk gravy with an incredible depth of flavor.

• Spicy Devilled Sprats: Pan-frying the sprats and tossing them into a fiery, glossy stir-fry of banana peppers (malu miris), onions, tomatoes, and chili paste.
