Creamy North Indian Fish Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat the curry paste with a splash of water in a frying pan with a lid. Add the onion and gently cook until soft. Pour in the coconut milk and crumble on the stock cube. Simmer to make a smooth sauce, adding a splash of water if it's too thick.
• Stir in the beans, then top with the fish. Cover and simmer for 10-12 mins until the fish is just cooked through. Drain the rice, halve it, letting the other half cool for tomorrow - chill once cool. Sprinkle the curry with the spring onions and serve with the rice.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a nonstick saucepan. Add mustard seeds. When mustard seeds start to splatter, add onion and whole green chilies. Cook on a low flame until onions are golden brown.
• Blend ginger and garlic with tomato paste and around 1/2 cup water until smooth.
• Add to the pan with the spices and salt and cook on medium-high until oil starts to appear on the surface. Lower heat as necessary as the mixture reduces. Taste mixture and add seasoning as necessary.
• Add some water, vinegar and coconut cream, and boil until creamy (3-4 minutes). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
• Add fish. Cook for 5-6 minutes, turning as necessary.
• Serve hot with rice or naan.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying or sauté pan. Add the cumin seeds and fry for 1 min, then tip in the onion, garlic and ginger, and fry for 1 min more. Stir in the curry leaves and mustard seeds, and fry about 3-4 mins on a medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are turning brown. Stir in the chillies, coriander, garam masala and turmeric, and fry for 30 secs.
• Stir the coconut milk in the can, then pour half into the pan. It should start to bubble and thicken, so let it simmer until quite thick, about 3 mins, stirring occasionally. Pour in the rest of the coconut milk, add the pepper and a pinch of salt, and lower the heat.
• Sit the fish in the coconut milk and press it down to half submerge it. Cover the pan and simmer gently for 4-5 mins (depending on the thickness of your fillets) until the fish is almost cooked. Do not stir or the fish will break up - just spoon some of the sauce over the top of the fish halfway through, then remove the pan from the heat and let the fish sit for another 3-4 mins to finish cooking slowly. When done, it should feel firm and no longer be opaque. If you want a thinner sauce, pour in a spoonful or two of water.
• Meanwhile, steam the green beans for about 4 mins until just tender. De-stone the mango and slice the flesh into thin wedges (see tip below left), then scatter over the fish to warm through.
• To serve, break the fish into big chunks by removing it to serving bowls with a slotted spoon, then pour the sauce over and around it. Serve with the beans, a scattering of coriander and the rice, with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over.

Steps:

• Apply a pinch of salt and turmeric powder to the fillets, mix evenly and keep it aside.
• In a frying pan, pour 4 tablespoons of oil, and add the fennel seeds and fenugreek. Sauté till aroma (about 1 min). Add onions and garlic. Fry till the onion becomes slight golden brown. Add the tomatoes, red chile powder and coriander powder and saute it for 2 minutes, till the tomatoes are pulpy.
• At this point, add 3 cups of water. (The amount of water depends on the density of gravy needed). Now add the tamarind extract, and let this mixture boil on low flame for about 10 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk and continue in low flame for another 5 minutes. Now the mixture would have reduced considerably and will be quite thick. Add some more water, if you want.
• Add the fish pieces and some salt (keep in mind that you have already added salt to the fish) as required . The fish will cook very quickly, in a matter of five minutes. Don't overcook the fish, as they may break when served.
• Serve it hot with rice. Note: The more thicker, the more better. It gets thicker as time goes by.

Steps:

• Mix the mustard, pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a shallow bowl. Add the fish fillets, turning to coat. Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Combine the onion, garlic, ginger, and cashews in a blender or food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a paste.
• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in the prepared paste; cook and stir for a minute or two. Add the cayenne pepper, turmeric, cumin, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, and sugar. Cook and stir for an additional five minutes. Stir in the chopped tomato and vegetable broth.
• Arrange the fish fillets in a baking dish, discarding any extra marinade. Top the fish with the sauce, cover the baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
