Fish Caldine Goan

🇮🇳 Indian

Goan caldine — yellow coconut fish curry, mild enough for Sunday guests. Coastal cooking logic: the fish leads, the gravy follows. Plate with plain rice — the gravy does the talking.

Prep 24 min Cook 24 min Serves 2 Medium

  • Saltto taste
  • Onion2, finely sliced

  • Coriander Powder1 tsp
  • Turmeric Powder1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Season the fish with salt and turmeric, and let it sit while the masala builds.

  2. 2

    Fry the fish till the edges crisp and the colour turns pale gold — handle it like it's precious.

  3. 3

    Soften the onions, add paste and tomato with the spices, and bhunao till thick and red.

Chef's tip

A final squeeze of lemon or lime right before serving wakes up every other flavour.
