Pomfret Green Masala Curry

 

A very delicious curry, cooked with coriander leaves, spices and coconut. It’s a change from the usual onion and coconut based red curries.

What you need:

• 1/2 kg pomfret or kingfish (cleaned and cut)
• 1 cup water
• 1 tsp tamarind paste
• 1 small onion (sliced)
• 2 tsp coconut oil 
• Salt to taste

Grind to a paste: 

• 4 long green chillies 
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 3 cloves garlic 
• 6 pepper corns
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 
• One bunch coriander leaves 

Method: 

Heat oil in a pan. Add the onions and fry them until they turn slightly brown in colour. Add the ground paste. Fry for 10-12 minutes till it turns dry and aromatic. Add the tamarind paste, water and salt. Stir well and make sure the gravy is thick. When the gravy boils, add the fish, simmer. Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Serve hot with rice.
