Tangy fish cooked in coconut milk from Kerala, The God's Own Country, India
[Note from Dr. Mathew: This is a healthy recipe from Kerala, known as "God's own
country" in India - aka the Malabar Coast known for its spices. The health
benefits of fish are well known. Add to it several spices which are loaded with
health benefits according to the latest research studies, you will get a dish
that is delicious and, at the same time, healing too. At one time, coconut was

But recent research has shown that coconut is very healthy. So, enjoy without
