Quick fish curry
This is a great healthy mid-week recipe that you can knock up in 30 minutes and hopefully you'll have most of the ingredients in your cupboard. Now I appreciate that not everyone will be totally stocked up, but if you like making curries then you probably have most of them below.
Ingredients
Serves 4
- 3 tbsp rapeseed oil 
- 2 tsp mustard seeds 
- 20 curry leaves 
- 1 large onion, or 2 medium, finely sliced 
- 1 clove garlic, chopped finely or minced 
- 1 tsp dried chill flakes, or less if you don't like it hot 
- 2 tins 400g tomatoes 
- 3-4 tbsp coconut cream, or 1 x 400ml tin coconut milk 
- 800g cod, or firm white fish 
- 320g brown basmati 
Method
- First heat up the oil in a large pan, add the mustard seeds and heat until they start to pop. 
- Then add the curry leaves and warm through for 1-2 minutes. 
- Next put in the onion and fry gently for about 10 minutes until soft, then add the garlic and chilli flakes, cook for 2 minutes. 
- Pour in the tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes before adding the coconut cream and 200ml of water, or just the tin of coconut milk. Simmer for 5 minutes. 
- Add the fish and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it has heated right through. 
- Serve with basmati rice, a squeeze of lime and yoghurt
