Kottayam Style Fish Moilee Recipe | How to make Kerala Style Fish Molee - Meen Moilee -Moli Recipe
Fish Molee is popularly named after a lady who modified the fiery hot Kerala style fish curry to a little milder version to suit the palate of the Britishers.
Fish Molee -Molly is a preparation where fish is stewed in coconut milk and very low spiced flavor in masala is prepared, so that flavor of the fish dominates the taste of the curry.
Although, the taste of fish pieces is prominent in this curry yet, thick coconut milk and spices like Green chillies, garam masala, turmeric powder, pepper powder, curry leaves give this dish an extra edge.
The fish used for this curry can range anything from Kingfish to Pomfret to any fish that is fleshy. I made this curry using Surmai or Seer Fish as it’s my most fav fish. But you can go ahead and use any fish of your choice. Even boneless fillets works great in this recipe.
It is a mild, delicate dish best served with Appam / Idiyappam /Rice, etc.
