A creamy and spicy fish curry- my husband and I enjoy this with hot white rice- hope you do too!

Ingredients: (For 4 servings)

  • 4 fillet of Salmon
  • Marinade:
    • 1/2 cup of yogurt
    • 4 tbsp 3G paste (Ginger, Garlic, Green Chilies paste)
    • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 bunch Fenugreek (Methi) leaves – finely chopped
  • 1 small onion- finely chopped
  • 12 cashews
  • 1/2 cup milk/ cream

  • 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/4 tsp asafoetida
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Recipe:

  • Combine ingredients for the marinade, coat the fish with it and let soak for about 10 minutes
  • Combine blanched cashews, 1/2 cup milk or cream, pepper and cardamom seeds and puree till spices are fine.
  • Heat oil, add turmeric, cumin, asafoetida, add onions and let them sweat for 5-7 minutes.

  3. Siddhu: You can make chicken in exactly the same way- I guess boneless will be better. And you may have to boil for longer to make sure it is cooked. But other than that - you should be ok :)
