Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Indian Fish Curry.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients for this delightful dish.
Step 2
In a shallow glass bowl, blend together 2 tablespoons of canola oil, Dijon mustard, ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until the mixture is harmonious.
Step 3
Gently place the white fish fillets into the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse beautifully.
Step 5
While the fish is soaking up those delicious flavors, take a moment to combine the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and cashews in a blender or food processor.
Step 6
Pulse the ingredients until they transform into a smooth paste, creating a rich base for your sauce.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
In a skillet, warm the remaining 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium-low heat.
Step 9
Introduce the cashew paste to the skillet, cooking and stirring frequently until it releases a fragrant aroma, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 10
Next, stir in the cayenne pepper, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, white sugar, and ground turmeric.
Step 11
Allow the spices to bloom by cooking and stirring for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 12
Add the chopped tomato and vegetable broth to the skillet, mixing everything together to create a luscious sauce.
Step 13
Retrieve the fish from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and discard the leftover marinade.
Step 14
Arrange the fish fillets in a baking dish, then generously pour the prepared sauce over the top.
Step 15
Cover the dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven, baking until the fish flakes effortlessly with a fork, which should take about 30 minutes.
Step 16
Once your kitchen is filled with enticing aromas and the fish is perfectly cooked, remove it from the oven and finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro for a vibrant touch before serving.
Step 17
Enjoy this flavorful journey with every bite!.
