Fish Curry

fish-curry

I love a good curry. Pretty much anything that includes Indian spices I love! I couldn’t possibly compete with the Fish Curry that we ate in India but I must admit this had me licking my lips and making mmmmmm noises out loud.

Fish Curry is a popular dish in Southern India and is one of their specialities. There was a restaurant on the beach right next to where we were staying and we ate there every single meal for one whole week. Word on the street was that it was the best restaurant in town and after eating there once we decided it must be true. There’s something special about eating your meal on the beach with your feet in the sand. Their fish curry was a local delicacy and was the inspiration for this dish.

This curry is bursting with flavour and the key is to let the sauce develop. It’s simmered for around 30 minutes and then taken off the heat but left covered for another 30 minutes. It’s sprinkled with fresh lemon juice and coriander to give it one last hit of flavour and freshness.
