Goan Fish Curry


This recipe is adapted from delish.com. It is a beautiful spicy and creamy curry, which will warm the cockles of your heart! It's lovely served with basmati rice, but equally as tasty served with mashed potato!
2 lbs tilapia, cut into one inch pieces
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1 cup coconut milk
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/8 tsp cayenne
3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cups crushed tomatoes
jalapeƱo peppers
3/4 cup water

Mix the tilapia, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a glass bowl, and allow to marinate for about 15 minutes. Puree the garlic and ginger with the coconut milk, coriander, cumin, brown sugar, black pepper, turmeric, and cayenne in a blender.

Heat the vegetable oil over a medium heat and cook the onions for about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the coconut mixture, jalapeƱos, water and the remaining salt and bring to a simmer.

Add the fish and and one tablespoon of the marinade and continue simmering for about five minutes until the fish is just cooked.
