So 'Ikan Bilis and Nuts' is nothing but 'Kozhuva varuthathum nelakadalayum' . The combination tasted good and can be made as a snack in dry form or as a side dish for rice when roasted in oil with onion,garlic,green chilies, tomatoes and curry leaves ( the usual tadka ). I came across this as a packed snack in an exhibition in singapore expo and the girl at the billing counter said she wanted to open it and have - so it is a very popular snack here. Give it a try when you you want to taste something different.
