Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 lbs white-fleshed fish, like monkfish, halibut or 4 lbs cod, filleted and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 teaspoon turmeric
salt
1 lime, juiced
peanut oil, for frying
2 green chilies, seeded
1 inch piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
5 -6 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed (do not chop, crushing gives the curry better flavor)
1/2 medium white onion, thinly sliced
2 -3 fresh curry leaves
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, solids separated from the liquid
salt
1 tomatoes, quartered, plus 1 tomato sliced thinly, for garnish
cooked rice, as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Rinse the diced fish chunks in water. Drain off the excess water and place the fish in a bowl. Add turmeric powder and a large pinch of salt. Add lime juice and mix. Cover and refrigerate for 25 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a deep saucepan over a medium gas flame until seriously hot, but not burning.
  • Add the chiles, ginger, garlic, onion, and curry leaves to the oil. The curry leaves must be added in at the beginning, so the flavors can infuse with the other ingredients. Stir lightly until onions are transparent. Add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and stir. Add enough liquid coconut milk to cover the ingredients in the pan. Do not add the thick coconut milk yet, as it will curdle. Add the fish and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes until cooked.
  • Add the quartered tomato and the thick coconut milk. Garnish with sliced tomatoes and serve with boiled or steamed white rice.

This dish was a disaster! The fish was overcooked and the sauce was watery.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I will definitely be making it again, but I will use less chili peppers next time.
