Ingredients
* 1 lb swordfish
* 1 cup coconut milk (freshly squeezed recommended)
* 2 tablespoon coriander seeds
* 1/2 tablespoon cumin seeds
* 1/2 tablespoon mustard seeds
* 10 medium size dried red chilli
* 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
* 3 cloves garlic
* 1 inch ginger
* 1 tablespoon oil (coconut oil recommended)
* 1 onion finely diced
* 2 tomatoes finely diced
* 2 twigs Curry Leaves
* Salt for taste
Directions
- Warm a frying pan over a medium heat and toast the whole spices (dried red chilli, coriander, cumin and mustard seeds) for a few minutes until fragrance is released and the coriander seeds start to brown.
- Crush the ginger and garlic with some salt to a smooth paste using a pestle. The salt helps to breakdown the ginger fibers and makes crushing easier.
- Add the toasted spices and turmeric powder to the pestle and crush to a smooth paste. Add a few teaspoons of water, if required to make the paste smooth. If in hurry, You can grind in a mixer. Crushing helps release oils and helps get an aromatic paste.
- Warm the oil in skillet over medium heat. Add curry leaves and mustard seeds.
- When the mustard seeds start popping, add onion and saute till they become translucent.
- Next add the diced tomato and saute until the tomatoes turn mushy.
- Add the crushed curry paste and cook for 3 minutes. Add little water, if the mixture starts getting dry.
- Now, add coconut milk and salt to taste. Stir well and cook for 4 minutes.
- Cut the fish into bite sized pieces. Add it to the curry and cook covered for between 5-8 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
