Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Fish fillets (firm white fish like cod or tilapia)
- 1 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Ginger (minced)
- 2 medium Tomatoes (pureed)
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 100 ml Water
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut them into roughly 4-5 cm pieces.
In a bowl, combine the turmeric powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and salt. Toss the fish pieces gently in this spice mixture to coat evenly. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly golden.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring until the sauce is well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Carefully add the spiced fish pieces to the sauce. Cover the pan and simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and tender.
Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or flatbread for a wholesome meal.
