Ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 cm x 2 cm piece ginger, finely grated
- 1 tbsp Keen’s curry powder
- 400 ml coconut milk, reserve 1 tbsp for garnish
- 100 ml water
- Salt, to season
- 500 g skinless white fish fillets, cut into 3 chunks (kingfish, blue-eye or barramundi)
- 1 telegraph cucumber, de-seeded, roughly chopped
- 1 tomato, de-seeded, roughly chopped
- 1 lime, juiced and finely zested
- 1 tbsp each coriander and mint leaves, to serve
- Cooked basmati rice, to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and sauté until softened, with a little colour. Stir through the curry powder and fry off for 10 – 20 seconds before adding in the coconut milk (reserve 1 tbsp for garnish!). Fill the coconut milk tin with 100 ml water and pour it into the curry. Bring to a gentle simmer for a few minutes and season to taste with salt.
- Stir through the fish fillet pieces and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked. Season to taste with salt.
- Just before serving, in a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, tomato, lime juice and zest with a generous pinch of salt and toss gently to combine.
- To serve, drizzle the fragrant fish curry with the reserved coconut milk and sprinkle with the herbs. Serve with the salad and hot rice.
