Fish Marinade

Curry Sauce

Method

Fish Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine the fish fillets with turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the fish evenly. Allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Curry Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Base

    In a large pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

  2. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    Add the finely chopped onions to the pan and sauté until golden brown. Next, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies, cooking for another 2 minutes.

  3. 4

    Add Spices

    Stir in coriander powder and cumin powder, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

  4. 5

    Incorporate Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 6

    Cook the Fish

    Gently add the marinated fish fillets to the curry sauce. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes on low heat, or until the fish is cooked through.

  6. 7

    Finish with Cashews

    Add the toasted cashews to the curry, stirring gently. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

  7. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped coriander, and serve hot with rice or bread.
