Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Cut the white fish into 1.5-inch cubes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Season the fish with salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the curry paste with the fish cubes. Toss gently to coat the fish evenly with the curry paste. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.
- Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and ensures fluffy rice.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and a pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your broiler to high.
- Thread the fish cubes, red pepper pieces, and chopped scallions alternately onto skewers.
- If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Place the kebabs on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be sure to turn the kebabs occasionally for even cooking.
- Serve the red curry fish kebabs hot, alongside the coconut rice. Garnish with extra chopped scallions or fresh cilantro if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the fish is fresh and cut into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Marinate the fish in the curry paste for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer taste in the rice.
- Cook the basmati rice with a pinch of salt to bring out its natural flavor.
- For a spicier dish, add some chopped fresh chili to the curry paste marinade.
- Keep an eye on the kebabs while grilling to avoid overcooking the fish, which can make it dry.
Red curry fish kebabs with coconut rice are not only easy to prepare but also bursting with flavors.
