Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
6 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
4 cloves
1 large piece cinnamon stick
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and quartered
2 large cloves garlic
1 teaspoon ground coriander
10 1/2 ounces coconut milk
2 to 4 green chiles, left whole
Kosher salt
3 1/2 ounces water
10 curry leaves*
1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon garam masala
1 pound 2 ounces salmon or firm white fish fillets, cut into large pieces
2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 ounces fresh cilantro leaves and stalks, chopped
Serving suggestion: serve with basmati rice.

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a nonstick pan, add the mustard seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon stick and stir-fry for 20 seconds (be careful, the mustard seeds might pop). Add half of the chopped onion and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Meanwhile, place the remaining onion, the ginger, garlic, ground coriander, and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of coconut milk into a blender or food processor, and blend to a smooth puree.
  • Add the coconut milk mixture to the pan along with the whole green chiles, and salt, to taste. Cover the pan with a lid, and cook over a low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, giving the pot an occasional stir.
  • Add the remaining coconut milk, the water, the curry leaves, black pepper, garam masala, and the fish, and leave to cook undisturbed for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
  • To serve this dish, stir in the lemon juice and fresh cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary, and then pour into bowls and serve with rice.

This curry was easy to make and so delicious! I used tilapia and it cooked perfectly in the creamy green coconut sauce. I served it with rice and it was a perfect meal.
