THAI FISH CURRY

Kaffir and Galanga can be found in Asian grocers. Kaffir, which has a similar taste to lime, gives a heavenly flavor that is definitely Thai. The galanga is very similar to ginger, and also adds a Thai touch. Monkfish is said to be the poor man's lobster; it has a texture similar to it, but I can guarantee lobster will be the last thing on your mind when you taste this delectable curry.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the curry will taste. This is especially true for the monkfish, which should be firm and white.
  • Don't overcook the monkfish: Monkfish cooks quickly, so it's important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the base of the curry, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
  • Add vegetables to the curry: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the curry. Some good choices include potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Serve the curry with rice: Curry is traditionally served with rice. Jasmine rice is a good choice, as it has a light and fluffy texture that pairs well with the curry.

Conclusion:

Thai monkfish curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its combination of fresh ingredients, flavorful curry paste, and tender monkfish, this curry is sure to please everyone at the table.
