Meen moilee – a staple in Kerala cuisine – is basically a coconut and turmeric-based fish curry. It is light on spices, but high on flavours and aroma, making it a popular choice among all. For the unversed, meen is referred to as fish. So, whichever fish we use in the curry, the name of the dish gets customised accordingly. For instance, in her recipe, Depinder used prawns; subsequently the dish she prepared is referred to as prawn moilee.
