A mildly spiced fish stew made in coconut milk, fish moilee is a popular dish from Kerala, in South India. Usually served with appam or bread, it stands out for its spice composition, which relies on black pepper for the burst of flavour but skips the trademark chilli burst associated with many South Indian stews. Creamy, rich, and a favourite of locals and tourists alike, this recipe is a must-try for all seafood lovers.
