Fish molly kerala style step by step

1. First dry roast desiccated coconut untill it become golden and crispy. In blender paste it untill it become creamy textured and keep aside for future..
2. Either you can use readymade coconut milk or homemade coconut milk. I have prepared coconut milk at my home..
3. In blender blend onion, ginger, garlic, almonds, 5-6 curry leaves together and make a smooth paste. Add turmeric powder and keep aside for future use..
4. Fish pieces marinated with salt first and keep for 9-10mins. Traditionally fish fillets are not frying but in this recipe I have sallow fry my fish fillets both side for 1 min each in low flame. Don't fry hard as we want soft creamy fish fillets..
5. In that same pan heat remaining oil and add onion paste, slited green chillies and cook low flame for 4-5 mins..We don't want colour changes to brown. Add coconut milk followed by fish pieces. Cook low flame another 2-3 mins..
6. Add rest of curry leaves, roasted coconut paste,black pepper powder, salt as per required and pinch of sugar. Cook another 2 mins and switch of flame. Cover it with lid atleast for 10 mins before serving with hot steam rice..
7. Note: You can use lemon juice as if you like sour taste of curries. I like my fish molly without lemon juice;Milky creamy flavourful light textured without sour taste..
