Fish Molie- A Kerala Cusine

I was reading a cook book that I bought from the airport in Chennai. I have never tried any of these recipes, so I thought, why not-today. 

Fish Molee is a unique Kerala Fish Recipe which has coconut milk as the main ingredient. Unlike the traditional Kerala Style Fish curries, this recipe doesn’t use Tamarind and is not spicy. It goes very well with Appam, Bread or Roti. But, we being Malaysian, must have our rice. Serve steaming hot, with rice, it is sinfully delicious.

Recipe:
Fish
1 tablespoon Garlic,  1 pc Dried Chilly and 1 teaspoon tumeric ( Grind into a paste)
2 Onions
Curry Leaves
a knob of  Ginger
Tomatoes
Lemon Juice
11/2 cup thick coconut milk
2 cups 2nd extract coconut milk

As usual marinate your fish with a little tumeric and salt. This is to get rid of the fishiness. You can use any type of fish that you like (after all it is your kitchen!), such as pomfret, mackerel and etc. Fry the onions, ginger and curry leaves until fragrant. Then add the grind ingredient and fry them, until to get a sense of the aroma. Then it is time to add the 2nd extract of the coconut milk and the lemon juice Once the gravy comes to a boil, add on the fish. Allow the fish to cook for about 10 mins, or until it is cook, on low heat. Then proceed to include the thick coconut milk, and on top of it, the tomatoes. Bring the gravy to a boil, and then switch off your stove.
This dish has a unique taste,and it is not spicy at all. Make sure serve it steaming hot for a sinfully delicious dish.
