Ingredients

  • Chilli Powder: 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • Turmeric: 1 tsp turmeric
  • Vegetable Oil: 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Garlic Clove: 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Onion: 2 onions, chopped
  • Tomato: 6 tomatoes, chopped or a 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • Lemon: juice 1 lemon
  • Ginger: 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • Black Peppercorn: 1/2 tsp whole black peppercorns
  • White Fish: 750g boneless, skinless firm white fish, cut into large pieces
  • Ground Coriander: 2 tsp ground coriander
  • Curry Leaf: 10 fresh curry leaves
  • Clove: 4 whole cloves
  • Cardamom Pod: 4 green cardamom pods
  • Cinnamon Stick: 1 cinnamon stick
  • Green Chilli: 3 green chillies, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Stir the lemon juice and 1 tsp salt into the fish pieces and set aside. Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the whole spices and curry leaves, cook for 3-4 mins, then add the onions. Fry until the onions are soft, then add the chillies, ginger and garlic. Tip in the tomatoes and the remaining spices and cook, uncovered, on a low heat for about 5-8 mins. Stir frequently to prevent the spices sticking and burning.
  2. Pour 150ml water into the pan, bring to a simmer, then add the fish. Cover with a lid and cook for 5 mins more. Serve with rice.
