Tomato Fish Curry | Tomato Fish with step-by-step photos.
This fish curry is a thick, spicy, and aromatic seafood dish, a fairly easy and delicious thick gravy curry. Spicy tomato fish curry is my own version, inspired by my family. I remember those days when my grandmother used to cook it with plain rice.
You would have eaten several types of tomato fish, but this one has a taste different from other fish curry recipes. Since I started learning to cook with my mother and elder sister, I noticed they always added very few spices, yet the meals were full of flavor and aroma. Personally, I have always loved seafood, and fish has always been my favorite.
Right there, I even learned that a meal never goes well by adding more spices; using a few species will make your meal tastier than other spicy food.
Here I used mushka small fish to make curry, I prefer small fish to a big one, just because this is more delicious and tasty than big, and the upper part of fish is the best for making gravy-based curry, but not necessary that you use the same fish you can use any other type of fish whether they are big or small as desired .
So let's begin
Tips:
- To prepare this delicious seafood curry, first we will have to thoroughly rinse the fish with flour and turmeric so that the smell of fish goes away.
- Note, in my previous post on the fried fish recipe, have told you how to wash fish; you can find it on my blog.

- Don't stir the spoon after adding fish to the gravy, or they may shred
- Just shake up the pot
- Mustard oil can make your fish curry taste better than other cooking oils
