Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 pound tilapia fillets, cut into 1- to 2-inch pieces
1 cup plain, lowfat yogurt
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together the turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and caraway seeds. Add the tilapia pieces and toss to coat. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • 2. In a blender, combine the yogurt and flour and set aside. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mustard seeds and cook, stirring, until sputtering and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the cream and the yogurt mixture and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes.
  • 3. In a nonstick pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Gently fry the seasoned fish until crisp on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Add the yogurt mixture to the fried fish and simmer until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • 4. Season with salt and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my dish. I followed the recipe exactly, but the fish came out dry and the curry was watery. Maybe I used the wrong type of fish?

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The fish was cooked well, but the curry lacked flavor. I would recommend adding more spices next time.
