Yemenite Curry

Method

Yemenite Curry

  1. 1

    Prepare the Branzino

    Rinse the branzino fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Make three diagonal slashes on each side of the fish for better cooking.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Ginger

    Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Mix in Curry Powder and Tomato Paste

    Stir in curry powder and tomato paste, combining well for about 1 minute to develop the flavors.

  5. 5

    Add Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to mix everything together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Cook the Branzino

    Nestle the prepared branzino into the curry sauce. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
