Moile is an East-Indian classic made with bottle masala and very popular with chicken. But, have you tried it with fish? Today, I give you my mom’s recipe for fish moile made with pomfret.

You can make this with other sliced fish as well. This fish is first shallow fried in a pan for that wonderful brown color than cooked in the gravy so it can absorb all the spices.

If you are looking to save a step or want to use less oil (as I do sometimes) you can skip frying the fish in the pan first. Just add the fish directly to the gravy and look a bit longer about 8 to 10 minutes.

Equipment /Tools

  • Frying pan

Ingredients

  • 600 grams Pomfret (2 medium)
  • ½ tsp Turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 4 tbsp Cooking oil
  • 2 Onions sliced
  • 4 Green chillies
  • 2 cloves Garlic fresh, sliced
  • ½ inch Ginger fresh, sliced

Instructions

  • Wash, clean and trim the gills and fins of the pomfret. Slice the fish into 3 to 4 slices each. Season it with salt, pepper, and turmeric powder. Set aside.

  • In a skillet or frying pan. Add 2 tbsp oil and pan fry the fish pieces for 2 minutes each on both sides – remove and set aside.
    Pro tip – We want the fish to have a fried look but it does not have to be cooked through now. It will continue to cook in the gravy later.
    4 tbsp Cooking oil
  • In a saute pan, add the remaining oil and saute the onios until translucent. Add the green chilles, sliced garlic and ginger, followed by the chopped tomatoes. Cook a minute or two until the tomatoes are soft.

    1 tbsp Bottle masala
  • Then, add a cup or two of water as required. Followed by the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil for two minutes. Add the fish pieces and let simmer on medium low heat for 4 to 5 minutes.
