Ingredients:

2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 onions
320g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
2 tbsp curry paste
30g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
1 cup coconut milk
230g
1.50 lb white fish
680g
1/2 cup peas
60g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g

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.
