Coconut Fish Curry
with Rice, Coriander & Lime
Firm white fish poached gently in a mild coconut curry sauce — the same Malaysian-style blend from our tofu curry, which turns out to suit fish just as well. Finished with coriander and a squeeze of lime.
Ingredients (for 2)
Pantry basics not counted above: olive oil for cooking.
Method
-
Cook the rice
Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan, stir in the rice, cover and drop the heat to low. Simmer 7–8 minutes, then turn the heat off completely and leave it covered for another 10 minutes to steam.
-
Start the sauce
Finely chop the onion and garlic, and grate the ginger. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the onion until softened, 3–4 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and curry blend, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
-
Simmer the curry
Stir in the chopped tomato and coconut milk, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3–4 minutes until it's slightly thickened.
-
Poach the fish
Cut the fish into large chunks and lower them into the sauce. Cover and simmer gently until just cooked through, 6–8 minutes — try not to stir too much, or the fish will break apart.
-
Serve
Divide the rice between bowls, spoon over the curry, and finish with coriander and a squeeze of lime.
