A delicious fish recipe
Couple of weeks ago, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar visited Baluchi, the signature Indian restaurant at The Lalit, Mumbai for lunch. Knowing his love for seafood, we served him the most famous fish curry from Kerala called Meen Moilee, which he relished with rice. Try it out.

200 gms fish fillet, cut into cubes
40 ml coconut milk (fresh)
20 gms onion (julienne)
8 gms ginger (julienne)

15 ml coconut oil
1 sprig curry leaf
