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.
Ingredients
Serves 4
3 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 tsp mustard seeds
20 curry leaves
1 large onion, or 2 medium, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, chopped finely or minced
1 tsp dried chill flakes, or less if you don't like it hot
2 tins 400g tomatoes
3-4 tbsp coconut cream, or 1 x 400ml tin coconut milk
800g cod, or firm white fish
320g brown basmati
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
