Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, mix the fish fillets with turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and half of the garam masala. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then add minced garlic, ginger, and green chili. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the chopped tomato and the remaining spice mix (coriander powder, cumin powder, and garam masala). Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture is well combined, about 5 minutes.

  3. 4

    Cook the Fish

    Gently add the marinated fish fillets to the pan. Pour in the coconut milk, ensuring the fish is submerged. Simmer on low heat for about 10-12 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Serving

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
