Ingredients

  • 600 g firm fish fillets, cut into large pieces
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 tomatoes, blended or finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 2 teaspoons King's Fish Masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon King's Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon King's Ginger Powder
  • 1 cup coconut milk or light stock
  • Salt, lemon juice, and coriander to taste

Steps

  1. 1

    Season the fish with salt, lemon juice, and a small pinch of King's Turmeric Powder. Rest while you start the sauce.

  2. 2

    Cook onion in oil until soft and lightly golden. Add garlic, ginger, King's Fish Masala, King's Ginger Powder, and the remaining turmeric.

  3. 3

    Cook the spices for about 45 seconds, then add tomatoes. Simmer until the tomato sharpness softens and the sauce thickens.

  4. 4

    Pour in coconut milk or stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Taste for salt before adding the fish.

  5. 5

    Slide in the fish pieces in one layer. Cover and simmer gently until the fish flakes; avoid hard boiling so the pieces stay intact.

  6. 6

    Finish with coriander and a squeeze of lemon.
