Editors Review
Fish moilee is a typical Syrian Christian delicacy with the distinction that it is subtly flavored to suit most palates. This fish curry recipe is a traditional one where the fish is marinated and fried before being added to a coconut milk infused with fresh ginger, garlic curry leaves and tomatoes, stewed in a traditional monchatti (earthen vessel). This coconut fish stew is fragrant and one bite of it will instantly transport you to the backwaters of Kerala.Comments
