Background
This creamy chickpea and fish curry is lovely and mildly spiced. If you want it hot, add some chilli powder to it. You can use any fish you like - I made it with cod, but salmon, haddock or sea bass would work too. Serve it with basmati rice and chutney on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 cm piece ginger
- 1 cm piece turmeric root
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp coriander seeds
- 1 carrot
- 1 bell pepper, red or yellow
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- 1 Tbsp mild or medium curry powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tin chopped tomato
- 1 tin chickpeas
- 1 cup green beans or kale or 1 handful of spinach
- ½ tin coconut cream
- 2 fillet fish of your choice
Instructions
- Thinly slice the onion and garlic, then chop the ginger and turmeric. Cut the bell pepper and carrot into small pieces.
- Heat some oil in a saucepan, then gently sauté the onion for about 5 minutes. Add the pepper and carrot pieces and stir-fry for another minute.
- Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric and seeds, then stir-fry for a minute.
- Stir in the tomato purée, then add the powdered spices and stir for another 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped tomatoes. Using the tin, add a full tin of water. Season with salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
- Cook for 15 minutes over low heat, then add the drained chickpeas and coconut cream, then cook for 5 minutes. You should have a thick, silky stew.
- Meanwhile, cut the fish into bite-sized pieces.
- When the stew is ready, stir in your chosen greens, then add the fish, cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Don’t overcook the fish!
- Serve warm.
