Background
This coconut fish curry is very mild and delicate so suitable for kids and those who don’t like really spice food. It’s ideal in an Indian menu at a aid-back dinner party, served with basmati rice and other side dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp of oil (or ghee)
- 3 cm cinnamon stick
- 3 cloves
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
- 8 fenugreek seeds
- 5 black peppercorns
- 7 curry leaves
- ½ onion, chopped
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- 150 ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 250g white fish fillet, cut into bite-sized chunks
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan, then fry the cinnamon, the cloves and the seeds. When the mustard seed start popping, add the curry leaves and the onion, and gently cook, stirring constantly.
- When the onion is soft, add the garlic and ginger, plus a spoonful of water, then stir for one minute.
- Season with salt, add the turmeric and pour in 100 ml water, then cook for 7 to 8 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk, bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes.
- Taste it - if necessary, season with salt and pepper. If the sauce is too thick, add some water (it should be creamy).
- Add the fish pieces, placed in the pan side by side. Cook under cover for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Serve hot.
