Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Serving size: 1 cup (200g)
Ingredients
- White fish fillets (such as haddock, cod, or tilapia), (500g), in large chunks
- Olive oil, 1 tbsp (15g)
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- Ginger, 1 tsp (5g), grated
- Turmeric powder, 1 tsp (5g)
- Ground coriander, 1 tsp (5g)
- Cumin powder, 1 tsp (5g)
- Red chili powder, ½ tsp (2.5g), (adjust to taste)
- Fenugreek seeds, ½ tsp (2.5g)
- Tomatoes, 1 cup (250g), diced
- Lemon juice, ½ tsp (5g)
- Water, 1 cup (250g)
- Salt, to taste
Method
- Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat.
- Add fenugreek seeds and cook them for a few minutes, tossing frequently, until they smell aromatic.
- Add the chopped onions and cook for a few minutes, waiting until they turn golden brown.
- Add the grated ginger and minced garlic and stir. Cook for 1 more minute, or until they smell aromatic.
- Add the cumin, red chilli powder, ground coriander and turmeric to the pan. Cook the spices for 1-2 minutes so they release their flavour.
- Add the tomatoes and simmer until a gravy forms.
- Add the water, then bring the mixture up to simmer again. Cook for 5-7 minutes, letting the flavours combine.
- Gently stir the fish chunks into the sauce. Cover the pan and let the fish cook for 8-10 minutes, or until it is well cooked and flakes easily.
- Add salt to taste and whisk in lemon juice to give the curry a bright, tangy flavour.
Storage: Before storing, let the fish curry cool completely. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. To ensure freshness, finish off within 2-3 days.
