Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds firm white-fleshed fish
- Salt to taste
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil or coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 large white onion chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves crushed
- 1 tbsp Curry powder
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 1 or 2 Fresh red chiles or Noubess hot and spicy sauce
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 2 cups Coconut milk
Instructions
- Clean and rinse the fish, then season it with salt. Heat the oil in a medium pan, and brown the fish. Set it aside and keep warm. In the same oil, fry onion until brown.
- Add the garlic and then stir; cook for 1 minute, then add the curry powder, tomato paste, chiles, and lemon juice. Mix well and continue stirring to prevent the mixture from burning. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and stir until it boils. Decrease the heat and add the fried fish. Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the flavors concentrate and the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency. Serve hot.
Notes
Always use a firm fish. Soft flesh fish will break into smaller pieces while frying.
Use a good curry powder to add wholesome flavors to the sauce.
