Fish Molee

Fish Molee is another favourite dish from Kerala made in a coconut milk sauce.



It is the same as stew preparation, except that fish is the main ingredient.
Chicken stew recipe is already in the blog.
Just substitute chicken with fish and reduce the cooking time as fish cooks faster.

Delicious fish molee will be ready.

Red rice

Red rice is high in fiber. As the bran is in tact it has a more nutty flavour.
It would be good if you can include this in your diet at times.


The cooked one looks like this.


You can use it like any other rice.
It has a chewy texture. It goes good in salads also.
