Goan Fish Curry

You can make this dish with king prawns instead of white fish if you prefer. It will be just as delicious. Goa is a state in western India, which used to be a Portuguese colony. Our Goan Indian Curry Paste captures the flavours of the local cusine as if you were on the beach yourself! Combine with our Aubergine Pickle and one of our award winning Indian breads and you have lift off.

Ingredients

2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large onion, sliced
100g Shemin’s Goan Indian Curry Paste
4 fresh ripe tomatoes chopped or 300g tinned chopped tomatoes
2 chillies slit lengthways (optional)
400ml can coconut milk
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
900g thick firm fish such as cod, haddock or monkfish – skinned

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sliced onions and fry for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.

2. Mix Shemin’s Goan Indian Curry Paste with enough water so that it is the texture of cream, add to onions and fry on a gentle heat stirring constantly. If the sauce gets too dry add a little more water.

3. Add the chopped tomatoes, chilli and a splash of water. Bring to simmer and cook for 5-6 minutes until the tomatoes have softened, stirring regularly.

4. Pour in the coconut milk and salt into the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer.While the sauce is simmering cut the fish into chunks about 3cm – enough for 1 mouthful. If using monkfish, remove the membrane before cutting into chunks.

5. Stir the fish into the curry sauce and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until just cooked. Give the pan a little shake now and again. If stirring be careful not to break up the fish. Adjust the seasoning.

Serve with boiled rice or Shemin’s Indian Breads

    On Friday I made your Goan curry with fresh Dublin Bay prawns – it was utterly delicious. Wonderful. My new favourite.
