Today we bring to you a famous dish from Kerala, India. ‘Fish Molee’, fish curry made with fried fish cooked in coconut milk. The word ‘Molee’ means ‘stew’. This mildly spiced stew is suitable for those with a sensitive tongue. However the spice lovers can increase the number of green chilies. The fish curry goes well with white rice, pittu, patta, vellaiappam, aapa etc.
