Meen Moilee
Meen Moilee is a celebrated Kerala fish curry that exemplifies South Indian coastal cuisine. This luxurious dish features firm white fish gently poached in a velvety coconut milk sauce infused with aromatic spices. The preparation begins by sautéing curry leaves, green chilies, ginger, and onions until fragrant, then adding turmeric, ground spices, and coconut milk to create a golden, creamy base. The fish is carefully added last, allowing it to cook just until tender. The hallmark of Meen Moilee is its balanced flavor profile - mild heat complemented by tanginess from tomatoes or sometimes vinegar, sweetness from coconut milk, and brightness from fresh lime juice. Served with rice, this curry represents the perfect harmony of Kerala's abundant seafood and tropical ingredients.
