This fish curry is a thick, spicy, and aromatic seafood dish that is fairly easy to prepare and absolutely delicious. My version of spicy tomato fish curry is inspired by my family. I fondly remember the days when my grandmother would make it to serve with plain rice.
While you may have tried various types of tomato fish curry, this one offers a unique flavor that sets it apart from other recipes. As I learned to cook with my mother and older sister, I noticed that they often used very few spices, yet their meals were always full of flavor and aroma. Personally, I have always loved seafood, and fish has always been my favorite.
I learned that adding too many spices can ruin a meal. Using just a few spices often makes your dish tastier than heavily spiced versions.
In this recipe, I used small fish called mushka to make curry. I prefer smaller fish because they are more delicious than larger ones. The upper part of the fish is best for making a gravy-based curry. However, you don’t have to use the same type of fish; you can choose any fish you like, whether big or small.
So let's begin
To prepare this delicious seafood curry, start by thoroughly rinsing the fish with flour and turmeric to eliminate any fishy odor.
In my previous post about the fried fish recipe, I explained how to properly wash fish; you can find that on my blog.
Before cooking, lightly fry the fish. Once you add the fish to the gravy, avoid stirring with a spoon, as this may cause the fish to break apart. Instead, gently shake the pot to mix the ingredients.
Using mustard oil can enhance the flavor of your fish curry compared to other cooking oils.
Remember that fish is rich in minerals, vitamins, and iron, so be careful not to add too much salt, as it can make the dish taste bitter.
It's also important to use a large-capacity pot or pan when cooking fish curry to ensure that the pieces do not break.
Take a medium-sized bowl and prepare spiced yogurt. Add yogurt along with red chili powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt, and stir to combine well. Set aside.
