EASY Fish Curry with coconut
Description
Easy Fish Curry with coconut features boneless, skinless fish fillets cut into cubes and dressed with lemon juice, which helps firm the flesh. A flavorful curry base is made by pureeing roughly chopped red onion, tomato pieces, freshly grated coconut, ginger, and garlic into a fine paste.
The base is cooked in oil after tempering mustard seeds. Turmeric and Kashmiri chili powder lend color and warmth to the sauce as it simmers until the oil separates slightly, signaling readiness. Fish cubes are added with salt and water to create a gently simmered curry, covered and cooked briefly, just enough for tender results without overcooking. The gravy thickness can be adjusted by adding water as needed.
This mild, coconut-rich fish curry pairs naturally with steamed basmati rice and lime wedges that add brightness. The method emphasizes careful cooking to maintain fish texture while infusing spice and creaminess.
