There are so many types of Fish Curry available in India. Since, we have a vast coastal region, fresh fish is available in plenty. However, the preparation varies as we move from Mumbai to Mangalore to Cochin to Chennai to Visakhapatnam to Puri.
Kerala Fish Molee/ Fish Molly/Fish Moilee is one of the most popular fish curry. The richness or creaminess if gravy come from use of thick as well as thin coconut milk. The simple light yellow gravy is so flavourful and light, it can completely blow your mind away.
The best taste comes when you use coconut milk made at home. To make the freshest coconut milk , take the white portion of one full coconut. Grate it and add 1 glass of warm water to it. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Strain it using a muslin cloth. This is Thick Coconut milk. Add 1 cup of water more. Repeat the process. This time what you get is thin coconut milk. I have used King Fish for making Fish Moilee.
You can use other fishes as well.
