Steps:
- Wash the Monkfish fillet very well under running tap water several times. Though Monkfish has no such distinct odor or fishy smell yet if you want you may dip the fish fillet in enough water with 2 tbsp vinegar and salt and leave it that way until you are done with the rest of the prep work.
- Pat dry the washed Monfish fillet and cut it into chunky pieces. Go for the size that you prefer. I used 2" inch nice and large chunks. The fillets shrink a bit while frying. Keep that in mind before dicing the fillets.
- Smear the fish fillets with 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and salt according to taste. Coat them well with the help of your fingers. I gently rub them until well coated.
- Set a Non stick pan over medium high heat. Add oil. When the oil becomes moderately hot gently release the flash marinated Monkfish fillets. Fry them both sides until the flesh begins to become opaque and they begin to shrink. It took me 3 mins approximately.
- Set aside the shallow fried fish fillets. Use the same pan and the same oil for the rest of the recipe.
- Lower the heat to medium. Allow the fish fried oil to cool down a bit otherwise the onion paste will burn and become bitter. This is very important.
- Add the mustard seeds and the curry leaves in the hot oil. Sizzle them for a few seconds or until the mustard begins to pop.
- Gently release the onion paste and sauté it for about 1 min.
- Next, add the ginger garlic paste. Mix well with the onion paste and fry them well until the raw aroma completely disappears and you see streaks of oil oozing out.
- Now, add the tomato puree. Stir well to mix. At this stage the masala paste in the pan will begin to bubble.
- Throw in all the dry spices. Mix well and fry everything very well until oil begins to leave the sides of the pan. You'll get a lovely aroma at this stage.
- Add the tomato paste and mix well. Fry everyhting for about 1 min.
- Reduce the heat and pour the coconut milk. Mix it vigorously with the rest of the ingredients until a smooth and silky lump free consistency is reached. Move the spatula briskly in clockwise direction to mix the coconut milk. Fry for 2-3 mins until you see streaks of oil appearing.
- Next, add 1 cup water. Give everything a very good mix. Cover and simmer the fish curry sauce on medium low heat. 5 mins is all you need. You will see oil floating at the top and the color of the curry sauce slightly changing and becoming darker and more lovely.
- It's time to add the shallow fried Monkfish fillets to the curry sauce. Add the fillets, coat them well with the sauce. Cover and simmer until the fish is completely cooked through. It took me another 3 mins approximately.
- Adjust the consistency of the fish curry sauce. Add more water if you prefer a thin sauce perfect for rice or reduce the water quantity and keep the suace a little thicker perfect to enjoy some cursty bread. Choice is yours enjoy!

MONKFISH WITH CURRY OIL
The actual monkfish is one ugly little guy- before some fish market got smart it used to go by names such as "frogfish" and "sea devil." It's tasty, though, and often referred to as "the poor man's lobster." This recipe also includes some green tea, which is an interesting and unique touch. Recipe is from Delicious! Living magazine's February 2002 issue. Time does not include brewing time for tea.

Steps:
- Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet.

- Sear fish until brown on all sides, about 5-8 minutes depending on thickness, and remove from pan.

- Return heat to medium-high and add green tea, honey, and cayenne.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest monkfish you can find. Look for firm, white flesh with no brown or yellow spots.
- Score the monkfish before cooking. This will help the curry oil penetrate the fish and flavor it evenly.
- Be careful not to overcook the monkfish. It should be cooked through but still slightly translucent in the center.
- Serve the monkfish immediately with the curry oil. You can also garnish it with fresh cilantro or lime wedges.
