Cochin Fish Molee (കൊച്ചിൻ മീൻ മോലീ)
Authentic Cochin Fish Molee (കൊച്ചിൻ മീൻ മോലീ) is a traditional Kerala Christian fish stew made with coconut milk, mild spices, and firm white fish. Pale, elegant, and unapologetically gentle, this Portuguese-influenced Cochin Molee is the exact opposite of loud, fiery fish curries ubiquitous to Kerala.
From the storied kitchens of Cochin comes the legendary Fish Molee, a silken, coconut milk based fish stew that is as elegant as it is misunderstood. While many claim the crown for the "best" version, this recipe is a refined result of thirty years of trial, error, and overcoming a rather "fishy after taste" culinary trauma. If you’ve been looking for a Fish Molee that balances the delicate sweetness of the coast without the "fishy" surprises of the past, you’ve arrived at the right shore. This Cochin Christian festive staple is perfect for your Christmas breakfast or lunch.
