Ingredients

6 tbsp vegetable or groundnut oil

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

5cm piece fresh ginger, finely chopped

2 onions, finely chopped

1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder

½ tsp cumin seeds

3 ripe tomatoes, chopped

1 tsp caster sugar

200ml full-fat coconut milk

600g firm white fish, cut into 4 pieces

¼ tsp turmeric

1 tsp garam masala

2 fresh curry leaf sprigs, leaves picked, or around

10 dried curry leaves

1 tsp mustard seeds

2 tbsp coriander leaves to serve

Cooked rice to serve

Method

Pour half the oil into a medium saucepan, put over a low-medium heat and add the garlic, ginger and onions. Cook for 10 minutes, then stir in the chilli powder and cumin seeds. Add the tomatoes along with the sugar and a good pinch of salt, then fry for a further 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

Add the coconut milk and 300ml water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Once everything is tender and the sauce has thickened, whizz with a stick blender until smooth. Taste, adjust the seasoning and leave to one side.

Sprinkle the fish with the turmeric, garam masala and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Put a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the remaining oil, then spoon in the curry leaves and mustard seeds. Fry for a few minutes until the seeds start to pop, then add the seasoned fish to the pan. Fry the fish for 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Pour the whizzed sauce into the pan around the fish and bring to a simmer. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the fish is just cooked through and the sauce is rich and thick. Serve scattered with the coriander leaves and rice on the side.
