Thought it was part of Tamilnadu. Hmmmm.... Well! Maybe they make Avial in my household on the account of that we are from Kanya Kumari (The southern most tip of India) which used to be part of the Travancore (Present day Kerala). OK.. Here is an amazing yet simple recipe for a dish called "fish Mollie" (Kerala dish..but stolen by my family for Tamilnadu. Woot! Woot!). If you ever get tired of the red/brown masala curry and want a more pastel dish.. this is it. And Gori Gori, your Bengala guy would surely love this. I am 99% sure. FISH MOLLIE Ingredients: • Fish slices(few) (Thilapia is a good candidate for this) • Onion sliced = 1 no. • Slit green chilies = 6-8 nos. • Finely sliced ginger =1” piece. • Tomatoes cut =1 no. • Coconut milk =1 can (Chaokoh - Coconut Milk 13.5 Fl. Oz. is the best. Its much thicker. If you use any other brand you may need more than 1 can) • Nutmeg powder =1/4tsp. • Lime juice =2tbsps. • Curry leaves =few • Coriander leaves =1/2 bunch. • Coconut oil =3tbsps • Salt =to taste. Method: • In a pan heat 1tbsp coconut oil, add curry leaves, green chilies, onion, fry till transparent( should not get brown) • Add the ginger and sauté for 5 seconds. • Add coconut milk, fish ,little water, cook for 10 minutes. • Now add nutmeg powder, salt, tomatoes, boil for 1 min. and switch off. • Garnish with coriander leaves, lime juice and the remaining 2 tbsps of coconut oil and serve.

If you have suggestions on a state-by-state basis, it probably wouldn't be too hard to put together another one for sweets and/or snacks.
