Description
A flavorful and spicy fish curry made with green chilies and fresh coriander, perfect for seafood lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound of firm white fish fillets (like halibut or snapper)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced
- 2 green chilies, finely sliced (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 can (14 oz) of creamy coconut milk
- 1 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the fish fillets under cool water and drying them with a paper towel. Cut the fish into chunks and set aside.
- In a deep pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it turns golden brown, about 6-7 minutes.
- Incorporate the chopped garlic, minced ginger, and sliced green chilies into the pot. Sauté for an additional 3 minutes, allowing the aromas to meld.
- Toss in the cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds, and turmeric. Stir the mixture well and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes to release the spices’ flavors.
- Gradually pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Carefully add the fish chunks to the pot, ensuring they are covered by the sauce. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is tender and easily flakes apart.
- Fold in the chopped cilantro and lime juice, seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking. Allow it to simmer for another minute.
- Take the pot off the heat and let the stew rest for a few moments before serving.
Notes
- For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of chili powder or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
- Feel free to swap the fish for scallops or chickpeas for a vegetarian twist.
