  • 2 tablespoons oil For cooking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat oil in a pan and add the chopped onions. Sauté until they become translucent.
  2. Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
  3. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and blend into the mixture.
  4. Add turmeric, red chili, coriander, and cumin powders, cooking for a few more minutes until the spices release their fragrance.
  5. Gently add the fish pieces, ensuring they are well-coated with the spice mix.
  6. Pour in the coconut milk and season with salt. Let the curry simmer until the fish is cooked through, which should take about 5-10 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

Store any leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash more coconut milk if needed to restore its creamy texture. Choose fresh fish for the best flavor, and feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste.
