FISH MOOLEE (MADHU SREE )



FISH  MOOLEE

Ingredient 
Fish - 2 ( I used Tilapia Fillet)
Ginger and Garlic - crushed and smashed - 1tbsp
Salt
Pepper 
turmeric pwder - 1 tbsp
Coconut Milk - Thick and Thin - 1/2 cup each
Green chillies - 8 - Yes eight coz there is minimal chilly powder incorporation in this recipe
Chilly pwder - 1 tsp or less
Fenugreek Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - Few Spring 
Coconut Oil - 1tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Onions - chopped or Sliced - Bases on preference
Tomato - 2 - Cut into quarters or Round Slices


Method:
1) Wash the fish with turmeric and pat dry . Now Marinate the fish with salt, pepper and turmeric powder. Keep it aside or keep in fridge. You can shallow fry it after around 30 minutes of marination, but dint do it as my tilapia fillet were too fresh and soft
2) Heat coconut oil in a kadai, add the seasoning ingredients - Mustard, curry leaves and vendhayam
3) When the mustard seeds splutter add the sliced onions followed by ginger and garlic whish crushed and smashed well using a mortar and pestle.
4) When the raw smell of ginger and garlic is just about to disappear add the greenchillies slit pieces.
5) Now add thin turmeric powder, chilly pwder and some salt, followed by thin coconut milk
6) Let the thin coconut milk blend well in the gravy which is when we need to add fish pieces and some water - around 1/4 cup
7) Wait for around 5 minutes and add the thick coconut milk. Also Now add the quartered or round slices of tomato pieces
8) Wait no more than 4 minutes. Season with some more fresh springs of curry leaves
and tasty Fish Molee is ready.

Goes very well with Dosa and Bread too. Tastes very mild with Rice but you can try.
