Easy Fish Curry


I made this dish months ago but I still remember clearly how delicious it was. Simple, delicious and flavorful Indian dish, fish curry in tomato paste and yogurt. The tricky part is during the process of cooking the tomato paste and the grounded ingredients, I prefer to cook it in low heat to make sure it's cooked and no more raw smell or powdery texture. Feel free to substitute the fish as in this recipe I use cod fish fillet but it works well with other type of fish such as Tilapia, Red Snapper or even Basa. 

Usually I will marinate the fish in salt, turmeric and chili powder about 30 minute before I start cooking to give it a tastier flavor inside the fish then I'll deep-fry the fish before putting it into the ready masala. It tastes pretty good without frying it first if you prefer less oily. 

Stirring continuously the masala when you're adding the yogurt is worth a concern, this to avoid whitish mixture above the gravy later on so making sure it's blended well with masala during this process it's important.


So, here is the recipe of this delicious fish curry
