Indian Cuisine: White Fish Coconut Curry
- 300 grams White fish (cod, salmon, etc.)
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 1 to 2 tablespoons Lemon or cooking sake
- 1 large Onion
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 2 clove Garlic
- 1 Chili pepper (For spicy food lovers only)
- 1 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp Clove
- 5 grains or 1/2 teaspoon Cardamon
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 to 2 leaves Bay leaf
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 1 bunch, if available Coriander leaf
- Wash the white fish and cut into bite sized pieces.
- Remove the bones thoroughly.
- I used cod this time, but it was also delicious when I tried with salmon.
- Wipe off moisture on the white fish with a paper towel, and mix it together with the ingredients.
- Wrap in plastic wrap, and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- It's also okay to let it sit overnight.
- Mince the onion, garlic, and ginger.
- For those who like spicy foods, vertically slice the chili pepper in half, and remove the seeds.
- Prepare the ingredients from on paper.
- That way, you toss them all into a frying pan at once.
- Open up the shells of the cardamom by pressing them with the side of a knife.
- In a deep frying pan, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil (not listed) and heat over low heat.
- Add the ingredients from Step 5.
- If you have mustard seeds at hand, add 1/2 teaspoon, but the flavor is the same even without it.
- Once it becomes fragrant, add the chili pepper if you like it spicy.
- You can also use 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper as a substitute for chili pepper.
- Add garlic and ginger, and stir fry over medium heat until they both turn light brown.
- Once the garlic and ginger turn light brown, add the onion and stir fry until it turns translucent.
- This will take up to about 5-10 minutes.
- The room will warm up in the meantime.
- Add all the coconut milk.
- Bring it to a boil, stirring well with the onion (If you have asparagus and tomatoes in your fridge, it'll also be delicious if you add them at this point.)
- Once it starts to boil, add the white fish resting in the refrigerator, bring it to a boil one more time, then turn it down to low heat.
- Cover with a lid and simmer slowly for about 10 minutes.
- To prevent the bottom of the pan from burning, gently stir the mixture occasionally so the fish won't fall apart.
- Once you make sure the fish is cooked through, stir in a teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of sugar (not listed).
- Taste again and add more salt if needed.
- Garnish with cilantro, and it's done.
- Please eat hot.
- It's also good to squeeze a little bit of lemon if you like.
- This curry goes well with dal, an Indian salad, and white rice.
