Bikaneri Fish Curry

🇮🇳 Indian

The seafood the shore eats: bikaneri fish curry, quick over fire and honest on the plate. Ready in 40 minutes including prep.

Prep 20 min Cook 20 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1 large, chopped
  • Tomato2, chopped
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil2 tbsp
  • Curry Leaves1 sprig
  • Fish450 g, steaks
  • Red Chili Powder1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Green Chili2
  • Tamarind Paste1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Build the masala: onions to gold, the paste, tomatoes, and spices fried until the oil separates.

  2. 2

    Add the liquid the name promises and simmer 10 minutes so the gravy finds itself.

  3. 3

    Slip in the fish and cook just until done — a few minutes past that is a crime at the coast.

  4. 4

    Balance the sour and salt at the end.

  5. 5

    Rest 5 minutes and serve with rice — the coast insists.

Chef's tip

Fish is done when it flakes at a tilt — not when it looks impressive.
