Indian Style Fish Curry

Just like chicken vindaloo, this curry also has a slight tang to it, however, the tang comes from the use of tamarind paste and not vinegar. Having said that, you can use vinegar in place of tamarind if you are short of it. Welcome to Zesty South Indian Kitchen, I am Swathi ( Dr. Ambujom Saraswathy Ph.D) who loves to explore cuisines from all over the world. Whenever possible I try to to give an Indian touch to several of the world cuisine, and has weakness for freshly baked bread.

Although you add it towards the end so it doesn't have too long to break up, I'd still recommend a relatively firm white fish. I typically use haddock and it works really well. Finally add the fish to cook in the flavorful sauce in only a few minutes. You make the masala first, by toasting the whole spices, crushing them along with the garlic and ginger then mix in the rest.



It doesn't need to be the holidays to cook up a batch of sweet potatoes just like Grandma. Simply use one of these delicious sweet potato recipes, and you'll be well on your way to enjoying a taste of nostalgia. I have a few meat curries I really like - on the site there is a beef massaman curry and lamb rogan josh, both of which I love. They are actually both made in the slow cooker to help get the flavors right through the meat but could also be done as a braise.

Toss in spices, chopped tomatoes and salt, and stir-fry for a few minutes till tomatoes begin to soften and pulp. If you don’t like spicy curries, then adjust the black pepper and cayenne pepper amounts to your taste. I use homemade Sri Lankan curry powder, but you can also use store-bought Sri Lankan curry powder. Another alternative is Madras curry powder. But avoid using regular curry powders available at the store, since these almost always don’t use the proper spices for a curry powder.

I do not eat a lot of fish & usually leave any trip cooking of fish to my husband. But I made this myself and turned out amazing & my husband even went back for 2nds. I used Rockling and was perfect for the dish. Thx Nagi for another amazing recipe. You can use virtually any fish in this curry – white fish fillets, salmon, trout.

Just FYI, it tastes a lot better with fresh grated coconut as opposed to coconut milk. Coconut milk tends to be quite sweet and upsets the balance. This is meant to be slightly tangy and spicy. So glad to hear you enjoyed, and yes can see curry leaves are good in there if you have them. I substituted the tomato with a tablespoon of tomato paste and added fresh fish stock.

See below for a list of recommended common fish. Season with turmeric, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add cayenne powder and half of lemon juice.

So glad you enjoyed, and I can imagine swordfish being great in there too. I love your posts because you cook the most interesting things! I need to work on getting my guys out of their comfort zone more. I did not have tamarind concentrate so I replaced with 1 teaspoon of lemon oil. Glad to hear you enjoyed! Haven't tried it with smoked fish but glad it worked out.
