Categories     Curries

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

300 -350 g firm white fish fillets, cut into pieces (I used halibut, but cod, perch, bass any are fine.)
8 scallops (allows for 2 per person.)
12 squid rings (allows for 3 per person.)
12 -16 prawns, shelled, deveined (3-4 per person I buy medium to largish size prawns.)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons gingerroot, grated
3/4 teaspoon turmeric, ground
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin, ground
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander, ground
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 cinnamon stick
1 1/2 teaspoons sambal oelek (I heap my spoonfuls, but adjust for desired taste.)
400 ml coconut cream (I use Kara brand I really like the flavour.)
1 teaspoon sugar
50 ml pineapple juice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large pan, add onion, garlic and ginger, cook until onion softens.
  • Stir in spices, mustard seeds, cinnamon stick and sambal oelek, stir until fragrant.
  • Add coconut cream, stir until well combined.
  • NOTE: The kara brand is quite a thick coconut cream, if my sauce thickens up to much I add a little extra light cream or milk. I haven't mentioned, adding cornflour to thicken for this reason, but I also know some brands can be quite watery, so you may want to thicken some more, if this is the case.
  • Add sugar and juice, stir until mixed.
  • Add all the seafood and cook covered about 5-10 Min's or until seafood is cooked through. Cooking times will vary according to what seafood you choose to use in this, so I can't give you an exact time.
  • I served mine over sweet potato mash, but it is also good over rice as well.

SEAFOOD CURRY



Seafood curry image

Packed with salmon, mussels and prawns, try this impressive yet authentic seafood curry

Provided by John Torode

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 45m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

75g ghee (you can substitute with margarine)
300g skinless white fish like pollack, cut into large chunks
200g skinless salmon , cut into large chunks
200g raw peeled prawn
100g mussels , cleaned and de-bearded
1 onion , roughly chopped
100g ginger , chopped
50ml vegetable oil
2 tsp garam masala
½ tsp asafoetida (if you have it)
1 tsp turmeric
1 red chilli , deseeded and finely chopped (leave the seeds in if you like it really hot)
400g can chopped tomatoes
good handful coriander leaves

Steps:

  • For the curry sauce, whizz the onion and ginger together to a purée. Heat the oil in a large pan until smoking. Add the garam marsala and sizzle for 30 secs, then add the onion and ginger purée, reduce the heat and slowly cook for 5 mins. Add the remaining spices, fry for 1 min, stir in the chilli and fry for another min, then add the tomatoes and a good pinch of salt and grind of pepper, and stir well. You can do this way in advance, then just throw the curry together on the night - the sauce will freeze or keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To make the curry, melt a third of the ghee in a large pan. Cook the white fish for 2-3 mins until lightly browned, then set aside on a plate. Repeat this process with the salmon and prawns, adding another third of ghee each time. For the mussels, heat a medium-sized saucepan on a high heat. Add the mussels with 2 tbsp of water, cover tightly with a lid, and steam for 3-4 mins, shaking the pan every so often. Drain and set aside with the other seafood.
  • Bring the sauce to the boil, stir the fish and mussels in gently, bring to the boil again, then remove from the heat and leave for 3-4 mins - the fish will finish cooking in the heat from the sauce. Add the coriander leaves and serve with Spiced rice and Carrot & cumin salad (see 'Goes well with' on the right of this page).

Tips:

  • Choose fresh seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better the curry will be. Look for seafood that is firm and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a variety of seafood: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of seafood in your curry. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the base of the curry, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a curry paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
  • Add vegetables to the curry: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the curry. Some good vegetables to add to seafood curry include potatoes, carrots, onions, and peppers.
  • Serve the curry with rice or bread: Curry is traditionally served with rice or bread. Rice is a good choice because it absorbs the curry sauce well. Bread is also a good option, especially if you want a more portable meal.

Conclusion:

Seafood curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make a seafood curry that is sure to impress your family and friends.
