The word molee literally means “stew”. Fish Molee is a preparation where fish is stewed in coconut milk and very low spiced flavor in masala is prepared, so that flavor of the fish dominates the taste of the curry.</p> <h2 id="ingredients"> Ingredients <a class="anchor" href="#ingredients">#</a> </h2> <ul> <li>Basa Fish (or any white fish) - 600 gm (cubed)</li> <li>Coconut Milk - 200 ml</li> <li>White Onions - 2 medium (finely sliced)</li> <li>Ginger - 1 and ½ inch (finely shredded)</li> <li>Garlic - 4 cloves (cut in half, length-ways)</li> <li>Black Cardamom - 2 (lightly crushed)</li> <li>Cloves - 4</li> <li>Cinnamon Stick - 2 (3 cm pieces)</li> <li>Bay-leaf - 1</li> <li>Turmeric Powder - 1 and ½ teaspoon (or 2 teaspoons)</li> <li>Plain Flour - 1 teaspoon</li> <li>Green Chilly - 2 (split in half, length-ways)</li> <li>Salt (to taste) - 2 teaspoon</li> <li>Oil (mustard) - 5 tablespoons (90 ml approx.)</li> <li>Water - 1 cup</li> <li>Lemon - ½</li> </ul> <h2 id="recipe"> Recipe <a class="anchor" href="#recipe">#</a> </h2> <p>Add oil to a wok (Karahi), when it is hot add onions.<br> Fry till the edges start to turn golden brown (approx 10 minutes).<br> Add cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaf, fry for another 1 minute.<br> Add ginger, garlic, green chilly and turmeric and fry for another 1 minute.<br> Add flour and salt and stir in for another 1 minute.<br> Add fish, pour water just to cover and simmer for 3 minutes (until fish is part cooked).<br> Add coconut milk, bring to simmer and cook for further 2-3 minutes (until fish is cooked through).<br> Sharpen with lime juice.</p>
