Indian-style Fish Curry With Tomatoes & Cream
- 300 grams Fish (I used monkfish)
- 400 grams Tinned tomatoes
- 2 small Onions
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil (or olive oil)
- 2 tbsp Curry powder (or fish masala)
- 1/2 tsp Salt (rock salt, etc)
- 2 clove Garlic (grated or mashed)
- 1 knob Grated ginger
- 1 from 1/2 a lemon Lemon juice
- 20 seeds or 1/2 teaspoon powder * Coriander (seeds or powder)
- 1/3 tsp * Fennel
- 1/3 tsp * Mustard seeds or whole black peppercorns
- 4 pods or 1/3 teaspoon powder * Cardamom (pods or powder)
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (or olive oil)
- 5 leaves Curry leaves (optional)
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 100 ml Plain yogurt or heavy cream
- 1 around 20-30 nuts Peanuts or cashews
- Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces (a filet would be easy to use here).
- Mix the ingredients and marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or overnight if possible.
- Here is the marinated fish.
- You can use cod or any type of fish you like.
- Crush the * spices for the curry sauce in a mortar.
- Remove the cardamom seeds from the pods.
- You can also crush the spices in a food processor (add a little water).
- Heat the oil in a pot, add the cumin seeds and stir-fry.
- When the seeds start to pop, add the onions.
- When the onions have wilted, add the fish and stir-fry.
- I throw out the extra marinade, but you can use it if you don't mind the oil content.
- Add the canned tomatoes with the juice.
- Add the spices from Step 3, the bay leaf, and curry leaves.
- Simmer over medium or low heat.
- After it has simmered for around 20 minutes, add salt to taste.
- Add the yogurt, stir, and turn off the heat.
- I used soy milk cream in the curry shown.
- Top with finely chopped peanuts to finish.
- Serve with basmati rice.
- It goes well with Japanese rice, too.
- Try serving it with a cucumber and tomato salad with yogurt dressing.
- This is Indian fish masala.
- It's not spicy, so I add 2 tablespoons, but if you are also using curry powder, adjust the amount to your liking.
- If you're not adding yogurt or cream, reduce the amount of curry powder and pepper.
- The photo shows cream with 0% fat content (soy milk cream).
