Ingredients

Oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Coriander powder

1 tablespoon

Red chili powder

1 teaspoon

Turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon

Curry leaves

10-12 leaves

Green chilies

2, slit

Ginger

1 inch, finely chopped

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Tomato

1 large, chopped

Onion

1 large, finely chopped

Coconut milk

1 cup

Fish (like cod or tilapia)

500 grams, cut into pieces

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they soften and break down, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and let the spices cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to deepen the flavors.
4. Carefully add the fish pieces to the pan and gently mix to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the fish to become half cooked.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and stir gently, ensuring the fish is submerged in the sauce. Cover the pan and let it simmer for approximately 10 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked and the flavors meld together.
6. Serve the Goan fish curry hot, ideally paired with steamed rice or crusty bread to soak up the luscious sauce. Enjoy the rich taste of Goa!
