Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams firm white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 10 leaves fresh curry leaves
- 2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoons turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoons red chili powder
- 1 tablespoons coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons tamarind pulp
- 1 cup water

Instructions
Clean and cut the fish fillets into medium-sized pieces. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion and tomatoes.
Heat coconut oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
Add curry leaves and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add tamarind pulp and water. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Season with salt.
Add the fish pieces carefully into the pan. Spoon some of the sauce over the fish to coat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes until the fish is cooked through and the flavors meld.
Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
Serve hot with cauliflower rice or a side of your choice.
