FISH CURRY
Preparation time: 10min
Cooking time: 30min
Total time: 40min
Serves: 4 – 6
Ingredients:
- 500g Kingklip, Hake or similar fish cut into 4 or 6 palm sized pieces
- Cook Durban Curry Kit – Fish Curry
- 1 Medium Onion Sliced, medium
- 3 Tablespoons of liquidised tomato
- 4 garlic cloves
- 80 ml Sunflower Oil
- Coarse Sea Salt to taste – I use approximately 25g
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- A 5cm block of Tamarind
- 250ml hot water
- Fresh Coriander
How to soak the Tamarind:
- In a small bowl add the block of Tamarind and the cup of hot water. Allow this to stand while you cook your curry. Just before straining it into the curry, give the tamarind seeds a good rub to make sure you get all the tamarind into the water, mix the water and strain it into the curry when needed.
Method:
- In your liquidizer add in Pack 1 and Pack 2, the garlic cloves, mix this into a paste, using about half a cup of water a little at a time.
- In a large saucepan on medium heat, heat oil and whole spices from Pack 3.
- When the whole spices start to sizzle, add onions and fry until light brown.
- When the onion has browned add in your wet masala paste.
- Allow this to cook for about a minute.
- Now add the liquidized tomato , salt and sugar and allow to cook until the tomato has dissolved.
- Once the tomato is cooked carefully place the fish into the curry mixture and give the pot a gentle shake, do not use a spoon now as you could break the fish. Let the fish cook for about 3 minutes.
- Using a strainer, strain the tamarind mixture into your curry, the liquid should just cover your fish once again give the pot a gentle shake.
- Allow this to cook for a further 5 minutes, until the fish is fully cooked.
- Garnish with fresh coriander.
- ENJOY!
