Title: Indian Fish Curry
Post by: BeezeeBee on May 11, 2014, 05:13:30 pm
Malaysians love curries, amongst many different types of food 😁 This fish curry can be found in Nasi Kandar restaurants. Owned by Indian Muslims, these restaurants serve Indian food which translates to lots of variety of curries. We would queue up for rice, and point to the dishes we want then ask for our rice to be drenched with 2-3 types of gravies.

This curry is relatively easy to make, and yet delivers great flavours. Try it 😃

1 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
50 g onion, cut into rings
50 g garlic, cut into halves
200 g tomatoes, cut into quarters
3 g curry leaves
100 g ladies fingers (okra), cut into two OR eggplant
7 tbsp Baba's Fish Curry Powder
500 ml water
30 g tamarind, mixed with 400ml hot water

Hahaha. Forgot to OZ-fy the name for okra. That's what we call them in Malaysia, GF 😄

Hopefully the curry is ok for you. You can turn down the heat by reducing the curry powder, or add water if it's too spicy. If you don't like it too sour, you can go bit by bit with the tamarind water.

That was my first thought, INAID but search as I might I couldn't find bananas on the plate of ingredients!! and there was no "okra" in the list of ingredients ;D ;D ;D  That's when I put 2 and 2 together . . . ;D ;D ;D  It looks an absolutely fabulous curry . .!!

Hanging my head in shame 😜😝 Totally overlooked the "banana" name when I copied and pasted this recipe from my recipe app.

The cooked curry picture did not feature okras. I used eggplants for that version.

Thanks BZB. I think I would use eggplants too. I don't like the texture of okra.

In this house the first instruction will be: first catch your fish. :D
