Easy Indian Fish Curry

Easy Indian Fish Curry 

The recipe is close to the Indian way of cooking fish curry, but made easier .

Most of the fish curry recipes require the fish to be fried separately and then added to the gravy.

Being health conscious & of course time being a constraint sometimes, I have made changes in the original recipe . Also I feel the fish is much softer when it isn't fried.

Adding a little extra tomato helps in camouflaging any fish aroma you wouldn't like ! 


If you want to give it the Bengali touch , use mustard oil, do add a tsp of mustard paste & 1 tsp of coriander powder and that should do the trick !


Ingredients : 

Rohu/Katla fish : 250 gm
onion  : 1 medium 
tomato: 2 medium 
ginger-garlic paste- 1/2 tsp
turmeric powder-1 tsp
chilly powder-1 tsp
salt- to taste 
garam masala - pinch 
oil- 2 tbsp
coriander -for garnish


Serves : 2-3 persons 
Cooking time : 25 min

Method : 


Finely chop onions & tomatoes.
Marinate the fish with little salt & turmeric powder and keep aside. 
Add oil in the pan and heat .Then add onions, ginger garlic paste & stir .
Next add the chopped tomatoes.  

Cook for 5 minutes , now add turmeric powder & chilly powder. Once the masala is completely cooked(the oil will begin to show separately), add the fish .

Since the fish is not being fried separately, please take care not to break the fish.

Let it simmer in the masala for 3-4 minutes, then turn the fish  gently.  

Now let it cook for another 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of water 

Add salt to taste. Let this cook for another 5 minutes. Last add the garam masala & garnish with coriander leaves .


Easy Indian fish curry is ready to be served .
