Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fish (preferably catfish or tilapia)
- 60 grams Tamarind pulp
- 500 ml Water
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
- 2 Green chilies, slit
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the tamarind pulp by soaking the tamarind in 500 ml of hot water for 10 minutes. Squeeze well to extract the juice and set aside.
Wash and clean the fish, cut into medium pieces, and pat dry.
Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add fenugreek seeds and sauté for a few seconds. Then add the curry leaves, followed by the chopped onions.
Sauté the onions until golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and the oil separates from the mixture.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well.
Add the tamarind juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Gently add the fish pieces to the simmering sauce and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with cauliflower rice or a side of sautéed vegetables to keep it keto-friendly.
