This Fish Curry Rice is a delightful blend of tender fish simmered in a fragrant, dairy-free coconut curry sauce served over fluffy rice. It's a comforting dish that brings the vibrant flavors of Indian cuisine to your table.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Tomato - 1 medium, chopped
• Curry powder - 2 teaspoons
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Basmati rice - 150 grams
• Water - 300 ml

Steps

1. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and 300 ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 5 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds. Sauté until the seeds start to pop.
3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the chopped tomato, curry powder, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
5. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the fish fillets, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
6. Stir in the chopped cilantro before serving.
7. Serve the fish curry over the fluffy basmati rice.
