Fish moolie

Fish moilee, sometimes referred to as fish moily or fish molee, is a delightful and mildly spiced fish dish prepared with coconut milk. Its origins remain somewhat enigmatic, with some attributing it to Portuguese cuisine and others claiming it as distinctly Indian.

This delectable dish is a staple in India, Malaysia, and Singapore. It is believed that during the British Empire's tenure in the region, fish moilee spread to other parts of Southeast Asia, including Singapore. The name "moilee" may derive from "Moli" a type of curry popular among the Malayali people in Southern India.

Regardless of its origins, fish moilee has evolved into a cherished dish, celebrated for its rich flavors and historical significance.
