Hi, this is Smita Deo, and welcome to 'Get Curried'.
Today let's see, how to make a mildly spiced 'Malabari Fish Curry'.
For that, I've already ground 1 and 1/2 cup of Fresh Coconut.
Grated with 1 tsp of Turmeric Powder.
I've grounded to a very fine paste.
I'm going to add this to a Kadhai.
Now, in separate bowl,
I am going to take 2 tbsp of thick Tamarind Paste.
To that, I'm going to add 1 and a 1/2 inch of finely chopped ginger.
3 slit Green Chillies.
A tsp of Chilli powder.
1 and a 1/2 tsp of Salt.
I'm going to mix this.
Add this to the Coconut Paste.
Add 500 ml of water to this.
Mix this well.
The curry has started boiling.
I'm going to add 1 cup of thick Coconut Milk.
You can adjust the seasoning at this point of time,
Before you add the fish.
You can see what a beautiful creamy texture the curry has got.
Let's wait for it to boil a little more.
The curry is boiling, let's add fish.
Here I have about 7 to 8 slices of Surmai.
You can use fish of your choice.
I'm going to reduce the flame,
And add the slices of fish.
Do not stir the curry at this point of time,
We don't want the fish slices to break.
Now, let's cook the fish for at least 5 to 6 minutes.
It does not take too long for the fish slices to cook.
The fish curry is ready.
As you can see, the fish is cooked.
It's turned opaque, nice and white in colour.
Let's keep this aside now.
And we've to temper this curry now.
So in pan, I'm going to heat 2 tbsp of Coconut Oil.
You can use any other oil of your choice,
But generally, coconut oil enhances the flavour of the fish curry.
The oil is nice and hot.
I'm going to splutter a tsp of Mustard Seeds.
A sprig of Curry leaves.
And here I have Pearl Onions about 5 of them,
Which I have finely sliced.
I'm going to add this.
And we're going to cook this till the onions are slightly golden in colour.
Personally, I love the aroma of Coconut Oil,
I don't know how many of you like it!
But I love it.
The Onions are fried to a nice beautiful golden colour.
I'm going to add this tempering to the fish curry.
And our Fish Curry is ready to be served.
And our Malabar style Fish Curry is ready to be served.
Serve it some lovely, hot steamed rice,
Or Appams or Neer Dosas, anything of your choice.
It's a very simple, quick and easy recipe.
Do try it and let me know.
