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

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

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this dish to life. Don’t worry if you’re missing something; I’ve included some easy substitutions to keep things flexible.

  • 1 pound of firm white fish (like cod or tilapia), cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lemon wedges for serving

If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes work just as well. And if you’re out of coconut milk, a mix of cream and water can be a quick substitute.

Instructions

Now, let’s get cooking! Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make this delicious curry.

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in the turmeric, coriander, and chili powder. Stir to coat the onions and let the spices bloom for about a minute.
  4. Add the chopped tomatoes, cooking until they break down and become saucy, around 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add the fish chunks, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
  7. Season with salt to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lemon wedges.

Remember, cooking is an art, not a science. Feel free to tweak the spices to suit your taste or the ingredients you have on hand. Cooking is all about making it your own!
