Netholi Mangayittathu - Anchovy with Raw Mango

Anchovy is called  'Netholi' in my language. Though it appears pretty small among all other fish giants in the market, most of of us know that , it is a very tasty fish and an excellent source of calcium. Even my maternal uncle who is a vegetarian  recommends it !!!
