As I kickstarted the theme of no-ferment pancake/dosa varieties of all 4 southern states for this month, I posted Kerala Malabar Pathiri and Mix-veg Neypathiri for the last 2 weeks. This week's recipe, Kottayam’s special fish curry, Fish/Meen Moilee is an excellent match for these flatbreads. What is Fish moilee? Almost every fish curry in Kerala is spiced up with red chilli powder and pepper which imparts red colour to the gravy. This fish moilee is a unique fish curry that stands apart from other curries in Kerala. In short, this Meen Moilee is a stew kind of curry, which is creamy, coconut-ty, and subtly flavoured. It has a creamy texture from coconut milk, slight sourness from lemon, and nutty flavour from coconut oil with understated spices. In a nutshell, it’s a delicacy and should not be missed. It requires minimal ingredients and can be prepared instantly with minimal preparation. The only effort to be put in is for the coconut milk preparation. Rest is breezy.
