Spicy Fish Curry With Coconut Sauce Food

INDIAN FISH CURRY WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Heat up the oil on a low to medium heat.
• Peel and chop the onion, and fry gently until translucent.
• Add the peeled and chopped garlic and ginger, and continue to fry for a further 30 seconds.
• Add the spices, salt and pepper, and give it a good stir.
• Remove the fish skin, if there is any, and chop it in cubes, making sure there are no bones in.
• Add the fish, chopped tomatoes and coconut milk, place the lid on, and cook on a medium heat until the sauce is reduced to a thicker, creamy sauce and the fish is cooked through.
• Check to see if it needs any extra seasoning, then garnish with fresh parsley or coriander.

FISH CURRY WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Heat coconut oil in a 12-inch heavy-bottomed sauté (or deep) pan over medium heat.Note: The pan should have a lid for use later.
• When coconut oil is melted, add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add garlic and ginger, stir, and cook for 1 minute more.
• Stir in curry paste and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
• Add baby potatoes, bell peppers, salt, black pepper and lime leaves, stirring to coat in curry paste mixture.
• Pour in seafood broth or stock. Bring to a simmer, cover with lid slightly ajar and cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are almost fork-tender.
• Stir in coconut milk. Reduce the heat just a tad so you have a gentler/slower simmer and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Stir every minute or so and ensure that any "caked" on bits at the top of the pan gets scraped into the mix. That's delicious!
• One at a time, make 4 little wells in the curry mixture and place cod fillets into them so that they are mostly submerged in the sauce. Spoon sauce over top of each fillet.
• Cook, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (insert the tines of a fork into the thickest part of the fish at an angle and twist gently; it should flake easily). Note: Time can vary, depending on the thickness of the fish.
• Remove and discard lime leaves. Then carefully transfer fish to a plate, being careful not to break up the fish.
• In a cup, combine cornstarch and cold water. Whisk until smooth and blended. Pour into pan and stir. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until sauce has thickened slightly.
• Stir in spinach and cook until just wilted (you can turn the heat off now if you like; the spinach will wilt with the residual heat in the pan).
• Return the cooked fish to the pan. Garnish to taste, if desired, with cilantro, chili pepper and green onion. Serve. Enjoy as is or with some cooked rice, quinoa or couscous. Great with lime juice squeezed over top.

GOAN FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Place Curry Paste ingredients in a tall jug or milkshake container (something that fits the head of a blender stick) then blitz on high for 5 to 10 seconds until the onion is pureed. Add more water if needed to make it puree.
• Sizzle black mustard seeds: Heat oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add black mustard seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds - careful, they might pop!
• Saute onion: Add red onion and cook for 3 minutes until edges start to tinge with gold.
• Cook off curry paste: Add curry paste and cook for 3 minutes - to evaporate water, make spices bloom and cook garlic & ginger.
• Cook off tomato: Turn heat up to medium high. Add tomato paste and tomato pulp, cook for 2 minutes.
• Coconut milk: Add water, coconut milk, sugar, salt and chilli powder if using. Stir, then bring to simmer, low heat so it's bubbling gently.
• Simmer 2 minutes, add tomato & green chilli: Simmer for 2 minutes, add tomato and green chilli.
• Simmer 3 minutes: Simmer for another 3 minutes, stirring every now and then - sauce should be thickened (not watery), it gets looser again when fish is added (because fish will drop some juices = even more flavour!).
• Add fish: Add fish, stir, cook for 3 to 4 minutes until fish easily flakes.
• Garnish & serve: Remove from stove and transfer to serving bowl. Garnish with coriander/cilantro and fresh green chillies if desired. Serve with basmati rice!

THAI FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Cut the fish into pieces about 2-inches wide. Dry the fish with a paper towel then rub 1 tablespoon of the curry paste over the pieces.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. (See notes.) Add the onion, ginger, and garlic and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of curry paste, coconut milk, water, fish sauce, and sugar. Add the veggies and bring the pot to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the fish. Cover the pot and cook for 5 minutes, or until the fish is no longer opaque. If your fish is quite thick, you may need to flip the pieces over and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
• Serve with a little minced cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

COCONUT FISH CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wide, lidded frying pan, then soften the onion for 5 mins. Increase the heat a little, stir in the ginger, garlic, shrimp paste, chilli and lemongrass, and cook for 2 mins. Add the curry powder and sugar, and keep stirring. When the sugar starts to melt and everything starts to clump together, add the coriander stems, coconut milk and 2 tbsp water, then bring to a simmer.
• Add the fish to the sauce, tuck the prawns in here and there, then squeeze over half the lime. Pop on the lid and simmer for 5 mins more or until the hake is just cooked and flaking, and the prawns are pink through. Taste for seasoning, adding a squeeze more lime to the sauce if you like. Scatter over the coriander leaves and serve with rice.
