South India offers so many dishes that are famous all over India and perhaps the entire Asian sub-continent. One of the lesser known recipes is a fish pickle or meen achar. Meen means fish in Malayalam/Tamil language and achar means pickle in Hindi. Curries are a perfect combination with any rice or rotis (flatbreads). However, pickles make everything better. Its a side dish that we eat in a moderate quantity. Pickles are known as taste booster and add flavor to our main meals. Fish pickle is simple to make, and you can store it in a glass jar or a mason jar for at least a couple of months. The fish we have chosen is tuna fish. Health benefits According to Community and Environment group, fish is low-fat and high in quality protein. It is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin). Fish is rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium. Pickles, when eaten in smaller quantity, can benefit your health. They contain moisture, energy, fat, protein, carbohydrates, fibers and vitamins. Pickles naturally work as antioxidants, probiotics which are the gut-friendly antibiotics and also helps in digestion. They also help in maintaining hemoglobin levels in anemic people.
