Instructions
 

Preparing the Spice Base

  • Heat coconut oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and allow to splutter. Add fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and red chilies. Sauté briefly until fragrant.
  • Add curry leaves and ginger-garlic paste; sauté for another minute.

Building the Curry

  • Pour in the tamarind water, chili powder, turmeric powder, and coriander powder. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates from the sauce.
  • Add the chopped onions and tomatoes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Adding the Fish

  • Add the fish fillets, cashews (if using), and salt to taste. Gently stir to coat the fish in the sauce.
  • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the fish is cooked through. Do not overcook.

Finishing and Serving

  • Stir in the coconut milk. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
  • Serve hot with rice or naan bread.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Indian Fish Curry:

  • For a richer flavor, soak the cashews in warm water for 15 minutes before adding them to the curry.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness. Start with less and add more gradually.
  • Don't overcook the fish! Overcooked fish will be dry and tough. Cook just until it is flaky and opaque.
  • For an even more authentic taste, try using a mix of different types of chilies for a complex flavor profile.
