Learn how to make delicious Coconut Fish Curry. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

One of my favorite things about this recipe is its simplicity. You don’t need to hunt down obscure items at specialty stores. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 pound white fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia), cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for serving

If you find yourself short on an ingredient, don’t worry! You can swap out fresh ginger for ground ginger or use a different type of fish that you have on hand. Remember, home cooking is all about flexibility and making it work with what you have.

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the curry powder, allowing it to cook for 1-2 minutes to release its full flavor. This step is crucial for deepening the curry’s taste.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk and diced tomatoes. Stir well to combine, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the fish sauce (if using), then season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the curry simmer for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  6. Gently add the fish chunks to the curry. Cover the pan and let the fish cook through, about 5-7 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Once cooked, remove the curry from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick.

Remember, cooking times can vary depending on your stove and cookware. Don’t be afraid to tweak the heat up or down to avoid overcooking the fish.
