- 500 grams cod, skinless haddock also works well
- 3 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 1 onion finely chopped I use my mini food processor
- 1/2 tsp ajwain (carom) seeds
- 1 red dried chilli
- 1/4 turmeric powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp ground cumin powder
- 1 tsp ground coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
- 1 tsp garlic finely chopped I use my mini food processor
- 1 tsp ginger finely chopped I use my mini food processor
- 3 medium tomatoes finely chopped I use my mini food processor
- 2 tsp tomato puree
- 2-3 green chillies finely chopped I use my mini food processor
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 2-3 tbsp fresh coriander, finely chopped
Heat the oil, add the onion and fry until light brown.
Add the ajwain seeds and stir through
Next add the remaining spices, dried red chilli, garlic and ginger and stir for a minute or so.
I put the tomatoes and green chillies in a mini food processor and blitz. This gives a smoother masala. I then add the tomato and green chillies mixture to the pan, with the tomato puree and stir through.
Turn the heat up and then add the fish, the fish will start to break apart as it cooks through. Cook the fish until it's fully cooked, this should take around 7-8 minutes. Next add the lemon juice and stir through.
Finally, garnish with the fresh coriander and lemon wedges. Serve with rice or chapatis
