Categories     Curries

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups uncooked rice
1/4 cup butter (or use oil drained from canned tuna)
1/4 large onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 red bell peppers (optional) or 1/2 green bell pepper, diced (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 -3 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk (or coconut milk)
1 (6 ounce) can tuna or 2 (6 ounce) cans tuna

Steps:

  • Start the rice cooking.
  • Over low to moderate heat, saute onion, garlic, and your vegetable of choice in butter. (If you use tuna packed in oil, you can drain the oil and use that to saute the onions.)
  • Season with salt and curry powder and continue to saute until veggies are tender.
  • Stir flour into vegetables until it coats them and combines with the butter/oil.
  • Over moderate heat, add enough of the milk to cover the vegetables, and stir to create a smooth sauce. As the milk begins to heat, the butter/flour mixture that was coating the vegetables will begin to blend with and thicken the milk. Once it becomes thick, add half of the remaining milk, and continue stirring until it again heats to the thickening point. Then add the rest of the milk, stir again, and allow to come to the thickening point for the last time. (This process is a bit difficult to describe, but not hard to do. Adding the milk at little at a time and stirring to keep it smooth as you go keeps the sauce from forming lumps and prevents scorching. You can also do this step over low heat, in which case you don't have to stand right over the pot stirring constantly, but it's still good to add the milk in stages, and stir regularly.).
  • Once the sauce is heated, add the tuna, and bring back to simmering. If the tuna is packed in oil, drain the oil (which you may have used in step one). If it's packed in water, you can just dump the whole can into the sauce, water and all.
  • Serve tuna curry over rice. A green veggies side is nice (steamed asparagus or broccoli, cucumbers in vinaigrette, green salad, or peas).

CATFISH CURRY



Catfish Curry image

If you've never tried it, or you eat it infrequently, I strongly encourage you to try your hand at cooking this very versatile fish. I promise you that when properly prepared, catfish is "off the hook!" Try this curry recipe as an example.

Provided by Adrian Miller

Categories     Main Dish Catfish

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pounds catfish fillets
4 cups water
2 medium onions, finely chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
4 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Rinse fillets under cold water and cut into 2-inch pieces.
  • Place catfish into a medium saucepan and add water, onions, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer until fish is tender but not breaking apart, about 8 minutes. Transfer fish to a serving platter using a slotted spoon and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Bring the cooking liquid in the saucepan to a boil; continue to boil until it reduces to 1 cup, then keep warm over low heat.
  • Combine flour, curry, and butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork or fingertips to form a smooth paste. Roll teaspoon-sized bits of paste into balls.
  • Return the cooking liquid to a simmer. While stirring slowly and continuously, drop the balls into the liquid one at a time, letting each one dissolve before adding the next. Cook until the sauce returns just to a boil and thickens to the consistency of gravy, about 5 minutes. Check the seasoning.
  • Pour the gravy over the fish and boiled rice, sprinkle some parsley on top, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use canned tuna that is packed in water instead of oil. This will help to reduce the amount of fat in the casserole.
  • Add vegetables to the casserole to boost its nutritional value. Broccoli, carrots, and celery are all good options.
  • Use a low-sodium curry powder to control the sodium content of the casserole. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, and garlic powder, to taste.
  • Use brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier option. Brown rice is a whole grain that is higher in fiber and nutrients than white rice.
  • Top the casserole with shredded cheese before baking it. This will give the casserole a golden brown crust.

Conclusion:

Curry tuna and rice casserole is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a budget-friendly meal that can be made with ingredients that you probably already have on hand. This casserole is a great way to use up leftover tuna, and it is also a good way to get your kids to eat vegetables.
