Fish Molee | Meen Molly Recipe | with step by step photos and video. <\/strong>A Kerala style Fish Curry in which fish is cooked in a coconut milk based gravy. The word molee or molly literally means stew.<\/p>\n

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. This recipe marks the foreign influence especially of the Portuguese on the cuisine of Kerala.<\/p>\n

The fish used for this curry can range anything from Kingfish to Pomfrets to any fish that is fleshy.  It is a mild, delicate dish best served with appam or idiyappam or boiled rice, etc. If you like Fish curry, you\u2019re going to love this recipe for sure. <\/p>\n

How to make fish molee or meen molly?<\/h2>\n

Fish Molee | Meen Molly Recipe | with step by step photos and video.<\/strong> A traditional dish which is creamy and rich. Mildly Spiced Fish Stew made with coconut milk, tomatoes, green Chilies and pepper. Firstly, fishes are marinated and fried. These half fried fish pieces are cooked in coconut milk based gravy with some spices so that flavour of the fish dominates tin the curry. Quite similar to Kerala Chicken Stew in its preparation. Both are mildly spiced and flavored with coconut milk, however they differ in the spices used.<\/p>\n

Moreover you can make this using coconut powder or fresh coconut milk or canned coconut milk. But fresh coconut milk is preferred. The freshness of the fish is very important. If you use old and frozen fish, the taste differs, so do not compromise on the freshness of the fish. Try it today itself and enjoy this yummy recipe.<\/p>\n
