Mullasett

Mullasett is a traditional Indian dish originating from the coastal regions of Kerala, particularly in the districts of Malappuram and Kozhikode. The name "mullasett" is derived from the Malayalam words "mulla," meaning coconut, and "sett," meaning curry. The dish is a unique blend of coconut-based curry and fish, typically prepared with a variety of seafood such as fish, prawns, or squid.

The preparation of mullasett involves marinating the seafood in a mixture of spices, including turmeric, chili powder, and curry leaves, before cooking. The marinated seafood is then cooked in a rich coconut-based gravy, which is flavored with additional spices and herbs. The dish is typically served with steamed rice or appam, a fermented rice pancake.

Mullasett is known for its distinctive flavor profile, which combines the richness of coconut with the heat of spices and the freshness of seafood. It is a popular dish in Kerala, often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions. The dish is also gaining popularity in other parts of India and abroad, thanks to its unique taste and cultural significance.
