Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fish fillets (firm and white fish like cod, halibut, or snapper)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Onion (finely chopped)
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 medium Tomatoes (chopped)
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 tablespoon Tamarind paste
- 200 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 10 pieces Fresh curry leaves
- 2 pieces Green chilies (slit lengthwise)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 piece Lime (juiced)
Instructions
Cut the fish fillets into medium-sized pieces and set aside. Sprinkle a pinch of turmeric powder and salt over the fish and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat coconut oil in a large pan or a skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter, then add fenugreek seeds and curry leaves.
Stir in the chopped onion and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Sauté for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Cook the mixture until the tomatoes break down and the spices are well blended, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk, tamarind paste, and water. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, gently add the marinated fish pieces, and simmer for 7-8 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and tender.
Taste and adjust salt as needed. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and stir in the fresh cilantro.
Serve hot with steamed rice or warm naan, and enjoy your Goan-style curried fish stew!
