Ingredients

• 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 1 medium Tomato, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 100 milliliters Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets, pat them dry with a paper towel, and cut them into large chunks. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped tomato, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture becomes thick.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and water. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring to combine. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 6

Gently add the marinated fish pieces to the sauce. Cover the pan and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.

Step 7

Squeeze 1 tablespoon of lime juice into the curry, and stir to combine. If desired, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Serve the creamy fish curry sauce hot over steamed rice or with warm naan bread. Enjoy!
