Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 1 Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp Ground turmeric
- 2 tsp Ground coriander
- 400 g tin (14 oz) Chopped tomatoes
- 400 ml tin (1⅔ cups) Coconut milk
- 600 g (1 lb 5 oz) Firm white fish fillets, barramundi, basa or ling; cut into 4cm (1.6 in) chunks
- 1 Lime, juiced
- ½ tsp Salt
- 250 g (9 oz) Long-grain or basmati rice, to serve
You’ll need: Large deep frying pan, Saucepan
Method
Cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over medium heat and cook the onion for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric and coriander and stir for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes, coconut milk and salt. Simmer gently for 8 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the fish and simmer gently for 4–5 minutes, turning once carefully, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Avoid stirring too much so it stays in chunks.
Stir in the lime juice, adjust the salt and serve over the rice.
Storage
Curry keeps in the fridge up to 1 day. Cool leftover rice quickly and refrigerate within 1 hour. Reheat once, gently, until piping hot all the way through. Freezing not recommended as the fish can turn tough.
