You may also add whole Black pepper to the spices. Fish Molee/ Moli/ Molly or any other name as you would like to call it, is such a special dish and I have tasted some three or four varieties of this delicious Portuguese influenced dish

The native population uses mostly King fish, seer fish or even pomfret for this recipe but I choose to go with a Rohu or a Bhakura (Catla) given my eastern preferences
