Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb fish fillets
- 0.85 cup coconut milk
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 onion
- 3 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 red chili pepper
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- to taste salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat (about 350°F / 347°F).
- 2Add the finely sliced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
- 3Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and the slit red chili pepper; cook for 1 minute, allowing the aromatics to release their fragrance.
- 4Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder; fry for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- 5Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan, increase the heat slightly, and cook until the tomatoes break down and form a thick, cohesive sauce, about 5–6 minutes.
- 6Pour in the coconut milk, stir to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (around 190°F / 190°F). Season with salt to taste.
- 7Reduce the heat to low, gently fold the bite‑size fish pieces into the simmering sauce, ensuring they are submerged.
- 8Cover the pan and let the fish cook through for 8–10 minutes, checking that the flesh flakes easily with a fork.
- 9Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt or a splash of coconut milk for extra richness.
- 10Remove from heat and let the curry rest, covered, for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- 11Serve the Katla Maharani hot, spooned over steamed basmati rice or alongside warm flatbread.
