Ingredients

• White fish fillets (like cod or haddock) - 300 grams
• Greek yogurt - 150 grams
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion, finely chopped - 1 medium
• Canned crushed tomatoes - 200 grams
• Coconut milk - 100 ml
• Fresh cilantro, chopped - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the marinated fish fillets to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until they are cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, then stir in the coconut milk and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Return the cooked fish to the skillet, gently mixing it with the sauce. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
7. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan.
