Meen Moily (Fish in coconut gravy)

I got this recipe from one of the TV shows on discovery travel. I tried it and it turned out wonderful. It's mildly spiced and tastes best with steamed rice.

Ingredients

Pomphret fish (400 gms)

Marinade-
Turmeric 1 tsp
Salt to taste
1 Lemon
Pepper

For gravy-
Cooking oil 4 tbsps
2 inch ginger chopped
2 tsps garlic chopped
4-6 green chillies
2 medium sized onions
Curry leaves
1 and a 1/2 cups coconut milk
2 cups water
2 medium sized tomatoes
Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Procedure
1) Wash the fish and mix it with the marinade ingredients. Let it stand for 1/2 an hour.
2) Heat cooking oil in a thick bottomed pan, and add ginger, garlic and chillies to it. After 10 seconds add chopped onions along with the curry leaves and fry till the onions turn translucent.
3) Add 1 cup of coconut milk and 2 cups of water to it. When this mixture starts to boil, add the marinated fish pieces, cover the pan and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
4) Add the remaining coconut milk, tomatoes and coriander, and simmer for 5 more minutes.

Meen Moily is ready to be served.
