Quick fish curry

This is a great healthy mid-week recipe that you can knock up in 30 minutes and hopefully you'll have most of the ingredients in your cupboard. Now I appreciate that not everyone will be totally stocked up, but if you like making curries then you probably have most of them below.

Method

  • First heat up the oil in a large pan, add the mustard seeds and heat until they start to pop.

  • Then add the curry leaves and warm through for 1-2 minutes.

  • Next put in the onion and fry gently for about 10 minutes until soft, then add the garlic and chilli flakes, cook for 2 minutes.

  • Pour in the tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes before adding the coconut cream and 200ml of water, or just the tin of coconut milk. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Add the fish and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has heated right through.

  • Serve with basmati rice, a squeeze of lime and yoghurt
