Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
- 6 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed
- 4 cloves
- 1 large piece cinnamon stick
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and quartered
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 10 1/2 ounces coconut milk
- 2 to 4 green chiles, left whole
- Kosher salt
- 3 1/2 ounces water
- 10 curry leaves*
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 pound 2 ounces salmon or firm white fish fillets, cut into large pieces
- 2 to 3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 ounces fresh cilantro leaves and stalks, chopped
- Serving suggestion: serve with basmati rice.
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a nonstick pan, add the mustard seeds, cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon stick and stir-fry for 20 seconds (be careful, the mustard seeds might pop). Add half of the chopped onion and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Meanwhile, place the remaining onion, the ginger, garlic, ground coriander, and 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of coconut milk into a blender or food processor, and blend to a smooth puree.
- Add the coconut milk mixture to the pan along with the whole green chiles, and salt, to taste. Cover the pan with a lid, and cook over a low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, giving the pot an occasional stir.
- Add the remaining coconut milk, the water, the curry leaves, black pepper, garam masala, and the fish, and leave to cook undisturbed for about 3 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
- To serve this dish, stir in the lemon juice and fresh cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasonings, if necessary, and then pour into bowls and serve with rice.
