Hey guys, here is Fish Molly or Moilee which tops the list of Kerala fish curries. I am sure you will love it. Enjoy it and please don't forget to comment, like, share and SUBSCRIBE to my channel Curry for the Soul on YouTube for more such easy and delicious recipes.

Fish Molly is a delicately flavoured fish stew. Its prepared by marinating fish pieces and then shallow frying them, followed by cooking the fried fish in coconut milk. I have used ready store bought coconut milk instead of grating the coconut and extracting thin and thick juice, etc. I am sure you will appreciate it because with the busy life style, no one has the time to make an elaborate authentic dish.

I have used Basa fish fillets because kids don't like fish with bones. You can use any fish like Kingfish or Pomfret which tastes very good with this recipe. Fish Molly goes very well with appams, rice, idiyappams or even chapatis.
