Fish in Spicy Curry Sauce

 

Being very rich in Omega 3, the Fish is a must to be added in our meals. Fried fish is no doubt very tasty but after all the process of spices and frying it, its actually more of a spicy snack, whereas making the curry of it, brings out the real fish meat taste : )

  

 

 

It is good if we add Fish in our weekly plan, I always have a Fish day once a week and then I make it in different ways, I fry it with potatoes and Vegetable as side dish, I make it as a spicy fish snack and this curry is made quite often.

 

It is cooked very fast if handled with care.

 

                                             So this is what you need to do:

3-4 fish fillet ( i took catfish)

1 large onion

3 tbsp yoghurt

1 tomato (puree)

2tbs fresh lemon juice

1 tsp fresh grated garlic

¼ tp carom seeds (ajwain)

¼ tsp Nigella Sativa seeds ( kalounji)

½ tsp salt (more to taste)

½ tsp red chili powder(laal mirch)

¼ turmeric (haldi)

¼ cumin powder(Zeera powder)

¼ tsp fenugreek powder (methi)

Oil as needed

 

 

 -wash and dry the fish and cut into pieces

-heat oil in a wok and give in first the Kalounji

-now add in the fish and fry on a high heat, just keep turning so that it does not get soft and break

-now sprinkle the garlic and just fry once more and take the fish out in a separate broad  bowl/plate

-make a paste of the onion and tomato in a blender and mix in all spices plus the yoghurt into it

-now add the carom seed and let them splutter but not Burn!!!

- pour the blended paste and mix all well, the onion will cook and shoot and leave water cover it with a splash guard and stir till water dries and only “masala stays

-now put the fried fish back and just mix it very gently taking care it does not break

Sprinkle lemon juice, gram masala and set on dum.

 

 

 

 

I used very less spices in quantity so that the fish cold be tasted not only the spices  : )

You can surely add more spices according to your taste!

I made  both fluffy Naans and Khushka (Plain White Rice) with it.
