Buttery Sardines Toast

Buttery Sardines Toast!! Sardines is a wonderful seafood which is rich in calcium, omega3, and many more essential nutrients n it is one of the best seafoods to consume for ppl of all ages, especially toddlers, growing kids, n women..I love sardines(mathi(மத்தி)/chaalai(சாளை) is wat we call it in our place) a lot!! When fried or cooked as a coconut-less tamarind curry, I will finish it off the plate asap n ask for even more 😋😋😂..But not all kids will lov this fish, n some moms will face difficulties in feeding this fish..I made this rcp for those moms, n also for those ppl who would like to taste a different Rcp with sardines..I guarantee, this is absolutely tasty..Even I m surprised with the taste..This is not an unknown rcp for u, just a simple buttery garlic toast,  many of u would hav tried this using prawns, but with sardines, definitely it is new to u..Hence I thought to post it here..Do try this, n let me know ur feedback frnz..

NOTE:

-----------

1. You cannot remove the entire bones. So, try to remove the bones as much as you can, n don't worry about the remaining very tiny bones as they can be easily chewed.

2. This rcp is suitable for kids above 2 yrs of age since it has tiny bones. You can even feed toddlers below 2 yrs, but be careful about choking.

3. Steam cooking is a must, and don't boil the fish instead. Else, the fish becomes mushy.

4. I made this for my kid n so it is less spicy, but tasty. For elders, you can adjust the spiciness.
