Fish curry with basmati rice

Fish curry is a delightful and aromatic dish that combines the rich flavors of creamy coconut milk, tangy tomatoes, and succulent white fish. Paired with basmati rice, this curry is a comforting and satisfying meal that is sure to impress. Whether you are a curry enthusiast or new to the spices of Indian cuisine, this recipe is easy to follow and yields a delicious result.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: Start by chopping the onions finely, mincing the garlic cloves, and grating the ginger root. Cut the white fish into bite-sized chunks and set aside.
2. Cook the Onions: In a large pan or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and cook until they turn golden and softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add Curry Paste: Stir in the curry paste, making sure it coats the onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook for another 1 minute to release the flavors.
5. Add Tomatoes and Coconut Milk: Pour in the canned tomatoes with their juice and the coconut milk. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
6. Simmer the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Cook the Fish and Peas: Gently add the chunks of white fish and peas to the pan. Simmer for another 7-10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become tough.
8. Season: Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the chopped coriander leaves, reserving a little for garnishing.
9. Prepare Basmati Rice: While the curry is simmering, cook the basmati rice according to the package instructions.
10. Serve: Serve the fish, tomato, and coconut curry over a bed of basmati rice. Garnish with the reserved coriander leaves.

Tips:

- Use fresh ginger and garlic to get the most vibrant flavors in your curry.

- If you prefer a spicier curry, feel free to add more curry paste or a pinch of chili flakes.

- For an even richer flavor, let the curry simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes before serving.

- Pair the dish with a side of naan bread to soak up any extra sauce – it adds a delicious element to the meal.

- Replace white fish with salmon or shrimp if you prefer a different seafood flavor profile.

This fish curry is a harmony of flavors and textures that will transport you to the tropics with every bite. With its rich coconut base and tender pieces of fish, it's perfect for a cozy night in or for impressing guests at a dinner party. Enjoy it with fluffy basmati rice and a sprinkle of fresh coriander for a complete meal that is both nourishing and delightful.
