Description

This mild coconut fish curry is a comforting and aromatic dish that brings the warmth of Indian home cooking to your table. Tender chunks of firm white fish are gently poached in a fragrant sauce infused with mustard seeds, fenugreek, cinnamon, and tamarind. The richness of the coconut balances the tangy tamarind and earthy spices, creating a harmonious flavor profile that is both soothing and satisfying. It is an excellent choice for weeknight dinners when you crave something flavorful yet simple to prepare. Serve it hot over steamed basmati rice or with warm naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce. This recipe is perfect for sharing with family and friends who enjoy subtle, aromatic curries.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the firm white fish into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat the sunflower oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the mustard seeds and fry for 1-2 minutes until they begin to splutter.
  4. Add the sliced shallots and chopped garlic, saut&# 195;©ing until the shallots are soft and translucent.
  5. Gently add the fish cubes to the pan and lightly sear on all sides without breaking them.
  6. Sprinkle in the whole fenugreek seeds, cinnamon stick, turmeric, and tamarind pulp.
  7. Pour in the coconut milk (or water if using grated coconut) to just cover the fish.
  8. Cover the pan and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the fish is cooked through and opaque.
  9. If using grated coconut instead of milk, stir it into the sauce during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  10. Taste and adjust salt if necessary, then serve immediately with rice or bread.
