🇮🇳 Indian

Fish Mappas tastes like the shoreline it came from — briny, fiery, finished with something sour. 40 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Instructions

1
Clean and pat the seafood dry; a 20-minute marinate in turmeric, chili and salt firms it up.
2
Sear or fry the pieces briefly so they hold together in the gravy — do not cook them through yet.
3
Build the masala in the same pan — onions, aromatics, tomatoes — until the oil separates.
4
Return the seafood, add the liquid the name asks for, and simmer just until done — a few minutes over is all it takes to ruin it.
5
Rest off the heat 5 minutes; seafood finishes in the pot.

Chef's tip

Salt seafood late — early salt weeps water into the masala.
