I&#8217;ve enjoyed each and every phase of my life, however I truly adore this phase of my life where I feel confident and focused. Through my life&#8217;s journey, I&#8217;ve learned and experienced a lot of things which helped to strengthen my inner self and moulded me to the kind of person I am today.

When we think about kerala fish dishes, usually spicy and tangy fish curries come to our mind. Well, this recipe is quite a different one, it&#8217;s rich, creamy and less spicy as coconut milk is added to make this. This is more of a fish moilee variation as the authentic fish moilee has yellow color and is more creamy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fish in Coconut Milk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9865\" title=\"fish in coconut milk\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/fish-moli-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/fish-moli-1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/fish-moli-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/fish-moli-1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>For marinating fish:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fish, king fish or pomfret (pompano)- 2, cut into round slices<\/li>\n<li>Chili powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Coriander powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Turmeric powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Ground Pepper- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Lemon juice- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>For frying:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oil- for frying fish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>While cooking:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oil used for frying fish- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Red Onion, cut long and thin- 2<\/li>\n<li>Curry leaves- 1 sprig<\/li>\n<li>Ginger-Garlic paste- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Coriander powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Ground pepper- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Tomatoes, chopped- 2<\/li>\n<li>Coconut milk, thin- 1\/2 cup (if using canned coconut milk, add water to the thick coconut milk to thin it down)<\/li>\n<li>Coconut milk, thick- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li>Garam masala- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instruction<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cut the fish into round slices.
