If you’ve tried our duck moile recipe or our tongue moile recipe, you’ll have gotten a taste for that spicy, tangy, vinegary dish. Next one you need to try is a fish moile curry. Same ingredients, slightly different quantities and slightly different method of making it. A fish moile requires frying the fish before cooking it, as opposed to browning the meat pieces like we do for a duck or chicken moile.
We usually make the moile of fish such as surmai (that’s kingfish in English) because the oil content simply adds to the flavor. But when it’s not available, the same recipe can also be used with a halwa fish (that’s a black pomfret.) Not as fatty as we like it, but still tasty. Without further ado, here’s the recipe.
