EASY FISH CURRY RECIPE

Easy Fish Curry Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com


Fish curry is one of the most loved dish in Singapore especially fish head.

While there are variations  of fish curry originated from each state of India, mostly they used fresh spice mix unlike here, we used a ready made fish  curry powder (masala) that  was available in  the market.

During the olden days, we  have to get our own coconut milk by squeezing fresh grated coconut with water then strain.  But that was a thing of the past since a tetra pack coconut milk is being used now.

With hectic and busy lifestyle, most  women go for a quick and readily available ingredients.  Even now, you could find semi cooked  fish curry.  No peeling or grinding of  onion etc, just open the packet, heat it and add fish slices.    Your meal are ready in minutes.

My Easy Fish Curry did not use coconut milk but you could include about a cup of coconut milk if you like.  Also if you like sourish curry, add a bit more tamarind.

Besides taken with rice, this Easy Fish Curry goes well with flatbread, dosa or bread.

Add in tamarind juice, stir and close the lid till it is boiling.  This is important to prevent the curry from tasting uncooked.

  3. Your Fish Curry looks absolutely delicious, Nora! It must have been really challenging squeezing the coconut years ago, that is for sure. The spices in your recipe sound really warming and comforting. Thank you for sharing this recipe, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party Community. Take care.
