The origin is debated, but given the incorporation of coconut milk, it is probably from the Mangalore coast or Kerala (I don't put much stock in it coming from Portugal, other than perhaps it being a local variation of a Portuguese dish invented in Goa). I like it best when made with Ney Meen (Seer Fish) or Aikoora (King Fish). The fact that these are bigger fish and the addition of turmeric dampens means it doesn't smell very fishy, which is probably why its so popular. Kiran P.S. If any restaurant serves you fish molee with Basa fish, please leave the place immediately. [1] http://mariasmenu.com/fish/fish-molly/2 -- Regards, Kiran
