fish curry
I made this for dinner less than a week ago and we ate the leftovers tonight.
Suzanne's Fish Curry
2 onions, chopped
2 tablespoons butter or oil
Fry onions about 10 minutes.
1/4 cup EACH chopped fresh parsley and unsweetened shredded coconut
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced or pressed
Add and saute 5 minutes.
1 teaspoon turmeric, or more to taste (I don't usually use more)
1 teaspoon garam masala, or more to taste (I don't usually use more)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Add and saute 2 to 3 minutes.
2 tomatoes, chopped, OR 1 14- to 28-oz. can diced tomatoes (I usually use 1 14-oz. can)
1/2 to 2 cups plain yogurt, to taste, and/or the juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon (I usually use 6 oz. yogurt and the lemon juice)
Add and cook 5 minutes.
1 lb. of any firm-fleshed white fish (I usually use farmed tilapia), cut in 1/2-inch chunks
1 cup frozen baby peas
Add and increase heat. Simmer 7 to 10 minutes.
Serve over rice. Makes about 4 servings.
And not to sound like a Trader Joe's ad, but their frozen tilapia is much, much nicer than any other fish I've bought recently. I think because it's frozen to begin with, not thawed and sold as "fresh" at the grocery store. It had a nice texture, not like cotton.
