With a securely effluvious tomato and kokosnoot based sauce, Goan Fish Curry calls for a skilful handful of spices but once you lot outset cooking, it's done in 20 minutes.

Goan Fish Curry

The tropical climate and beaches of Goa have long since been a magnet for travellers from all over the world, with a reputation in particular for alluring the hippie oversupply and British backpackers … and Aussies!

Of all the region's dishes, forth with Vindaloo maybe ane of the most well known is Goan Fish Curry. Pronounced go-an(equally opposed to "groan" without the "r"!), it'southward an effluvious curry with a blend of spices, garlic, ginger and onion forth with fresh tomato and kokosnoot. And different other popular Indian curries, such equally everybody's favourite Butter Chicken and Tikka Masala, Goan Fish Curry has a touch of tang to it which cuts through the richness of the sauce.

Here'south a petty preview of what'due south coming your way….

Well-nigh this item Goan Fish Back-scratch recipe

This Goan Fish Curry recipe is marginally more than involved than most of the basic homestyle and online recipes you'll run into which typically have sparse sauces and lack real depth of flavor in the sauce. This version specifically aims to achieve the same character and layers of flavour similar you lot go at good Indian restaurants.

Specifically, this is a copycat of Malabar S Indian Restaurant in Crows Nest, Sydney, a long standing institution known for its excellent authentic Southern Indian nutrient!

Goan Fish Back-scratch Paste

The foundation of Goan Fish Curry is a back-scratch paste which, one time you gather the necessary spices, is a breeze to brand. Here's what you need – but don't fret if you see spices y'all don't recognise, I accept substitutions!

Kashmiri chilli –this is an Indian chilli that is a little smoky equally well every bit spicy, and at the time of writing I believe it'southward only institute in Indian and some Asian grocery stores (some have Indian sections). The Kashmiri Chilli gives the curry sauce a brilliant crimson colour without overwhelming chilli heat. If you can't notice it, sub with smoked paprika + chilli powder (pure chilli powder, not US Chili Powder which is a alloy) or cayenne pepper). Flavour wise this is actually pretty close, you merely won't become quite the same cherry-red colour;
Fenugreek –another Indian specific cooking spice that calls for a trip to the Indian store. It actually kind of smells like maple syrup, though doesn't taste like it when raw. It's not a fundamental ingredient and then if you can't detect it, just leave it out;
Tumeric – this warm earthy spice with an intense yellow colour gives the back-scratch a warm xanthous glow. Widely available at ordinary grocery stores present;
Coriander, cumin and ground cloves – three mutual spices in both Indian and Western cooking;
Fresh garlic and ginger – staples in most Indian cooking again. Finely grate it to get all the juicy flavour;
Tamarind – this sour paste is the sour element in Goan Fish Curry. It's not overly sour, it'south just a background flavour but noticeable – and it'due south one of the things that sets it apart from other Indian curries.Tamarind paste is made from the pulp of tamarind, a tropical fruit. It's also used in South Due east Asian cooking – such as everybody'south favourite Pad Thai, Massaman Curry and Beef Rendang. Best sub: Ketchup plus white vinegar. I know, it sounds weird, but this philharmonic replicates the thickness and sourness of tamarind. It's the sub I utilize for Pad Thai and the results are astounding – and if you lot scan reader feedback, there's plenty of positive comments around this sub.

Here's how I make the curry paste – with a blender stick in a tall mason jar (I'grand sure it came with a shake container, but I can't locate it!).

This is a handy way to brand minor-batch curry pastes that is easy to scrape out. Information technology's a nightmare trying to scrape the paste out of a blender jug! If you use a food processor, use a pocket-size ane – it doesn't need to exist super powerful because there's nothing difficult in the curry paste.

If you don't have whatsoever of these, you lot can employ a mortar and pestle or, as a last resort, finely grate the onion into a wet paste then just mix it up with the other ingredients.

Goan Fish Curry Sauce

And here'southward what you need for the curry sauce in addition to the curry paste:

Blackness mustard seeds – they look like poppyseeds but take a slight wasabi-like bite to them. Not spicy, more than a fresh zing. It'southward nearly $1.50 in pocket-size packs at Indian grocery stores – I go to Indian Emporium in Dee Why on the Northern Beaches, Sydney. Also sold in the Indian food section at some Woolworths (Australia) $1.70, and online!Not a key ingredient in this recipe and then don't stress if you can't notice it. Sub (starting with best): dark-brown mustard seeds, yellow mustard seeds, ane/four tsp mustard pulverization, 1/2 tsp Garam Masala (dissimilar flavour, but is intended to make up for absence). Also used in: South Indian Eggplant Curry, Dal, Samosa Pie;

Chilli pulverization –this is pure ground chilli that is spicy, not the alloy sold in the The states as "Chili Powder".Sub withcayenne pepper;
Freshgreenish chilli –these are more for visual than to add flavour or spice into the dish so these can be omitted if you prefer. Because these are large chillies, they are not very spicy;
Coconut milk – total fatty all-time, for flavor and sauce thickness. Ayam is my brand of choice – it'south got the highest coconut % and therefore best flavour (89%). Economical brands can have as depression as 40% so the flavor is nowhere near equally good.Alternatives: Evaporated milk, foam or light cream (though you do lose the kokosnoot flavour, at that place's tons of flavor from the spices!);

Love apple lurid –use tomato polpa / pulp if you can find information technology (it's finely chopped tomato, I use Mutti) otherwise tomato passata (aka tomato puree or strained tomato) or even canned crushed tomato will work just fine hither;
Whole love apple – cut into chunks for stirring into the sauce;
Tomato paste – for thickening and a affect of extra tart; and
Carbohydrate – to balance the sour flavours. If you use an economical kokosnoot milk (ie lower coconut %) then you may need to punch it upwards a touch.

Best Fish for Curry

You can use nigh any fish in this curry – white fish fillets, salmon, trout. See below for a listing of recommended mutual fish.

This back-scratch is also a very skilful way to use economical frozen fish because different for dishes like Ceviche and Poke Bowls, sashimi-grade freshness is non paramount hither. The aforementioned rule of thumb goes for say Moqueca (Brazilian Fish Stew) and my Chinese Rice Soup.

For white fish, house-fleshed fish are ideal, such as:

Spanish mackerel (king mackerel in the U.s. is very similar) – this is what I used, excellent value
tilapia
snapper
barramundi
cod (all types)
mahi-mahi
halibut
basa
ling

Specifically, curry is very adept for economical fish, "fishy" fish and freshwater fish that tin can sometimes have a bit of a muddied flavour considering the strong flavour of the curry sauce volition disguise whatsoever shortfall in fish flavor.

Fun fact: you'll find that fish dishes in inland areas of China and other Asian countries that only have access to freshwater fish are more often than not served with very potent flavoured sauces – to disguise that muddy season. 🙂 Not everyone has admission to sparkling fresh saltwater fish!

Fish best avoided include:

Fish that easily goes dry if cooked besides long – tuna, bonito, swordfish, marlin, kingfish
Very oily fish – sardines, mullet, herring
Frail-textured white fish – flathead, gemfish/hake, sole (not ideal as they can break up hands, just are still OK if you're careful)

How to make Goan Fish Curry

And here'southward how to make it. Once you lot've measured out the ingredients, it takes less than 20 minutes:

Curry paste outset – put it all in a jug that the blender stick fits into (I hope you've still got the milkshake container yours came with!) and then blitz away. Use water to help it rush – otherwise information technology's too dry out;
Blitz until the onion is puree – it won't take much longer than 10 seconds, at that place's nothing hard in this curry paste;
Cook off the back-scratch paste – this is to make the spice flavours blossom and cook the onion, garlic and ginger. Also, to cook out the water that we added to help the paste puree;
Cook off tomato plant paste – next, we add the tomato paste and tomato lurid/puree, and cook that downwards to likewise to get rid of excess water;
Add together coconut milk and remaining sauce ingredients;
Simmer for 5 minutes to reduce and bring the flavours together;
Add fish in the terminal few minutes – it merely takes 3 to 4 minutes to melt;
Garnish with fresh coriander and green chillies, then serve over basmati rice!

What to serve with Goan Fish Curry

As with all south Indian curries, the traditional way to serve this is with white basmati rice, though it'southward perfectly acceptable and but as delicious served with patently white rice, jasmine or chocolate-brown rice (brownish basmati rice is terrific!).

If you're going depression carb or want to cutting calories, then cauliflower rice works, though zero beats the real thing. 🙂

If flatbreads are your thing, a side of my Naan (5 years in the making, this recipe!) for mopping the plate clean would be wonderful. Otherwise this general-purpose Easy Soft Flatbread makes a great alternative.

For something fresh, a favourite is a cool, refreshing Yogurt Cucumber Salad. The minted lemon yogurt dressing with the juicy bites of cucumber is literally made for Indian nutrient. Indian Tomato Salad with Mint Raita is another super-fresh salad to cool that Kashmiri chilli estrus. For something a little different and in the spirit of South Indian food, give this Cabbage & Carrot Salad with Coconut a whirl!

Going all the manner to create the ultimate Indian feast? Attempt Samosas or Pakoras for the perfect appetiser/entree!

Spice Note: This recipe every bit written is quite spicy, as is traditional. The spiciness comes from the Kashmiri chilli powder and chilli pulverisation. To reduce spiciness, leave out the chilli powder - this will go out the curry with quite a warm buzz but non overly spicy. To make it non spicy at all, sub Kashmiri for smoked paprika.

i. Kashmiri Chili - spicy Indian chilli pulverization that gives this curry the blood-red colour. Sub with 2 tbsp smoked paprika + 1/2 tsp chilli powder (not US Chili Powder which is a alloy) or cayenne pepper). Pretty close season just, yous won't get quite the same red colour. Notice at Indian shop (I go to Indian Emporium in Dee Why, Sydney).

ii. Fenugreek powder -another Indian spice, kind of smells like maple syrup! Find at Indian grocery stores, non a cardinal ingredient and then simply skip it if you can't detect information technology.

3. Tamarind puree - sour paste with consistency similar tomato paste. Can be labelled every bit Tamarind Puree, Concentrate or Paste. In Commonwealth of australia it's sold at Woolies, Coles, Harris Farms (Asian department) as well as Asian stores.

Best sub:. ane tbsp love apple ketchup + 1 tbsp white vinegar (yes, really, used as sub for Pad Thai too and at that place are plenty of rave reviews!).

4. Black mustard seeds -looks like poppyseeds, wasabi seize with teeth, Indian aroma! ~ $1.50 in small packs at Indian grocery stores (my local is Indian Emporium in Dee Why, Sydney). Also sold in the Indian food department at some Woolworths (Australia) $1.seventy, otherwise endeavor online.

We aren't using stacks in this recipe, then not the terminate of the globe if you can't find it. Just substitute with one of these (starting with best): Brown mustard seeds, Yellow mustard seeds, one/4 tsp mustard powder*, 1/2 tsp Garam Masala* (*different flavour, just is intended to make up for absenteeism, add into curry paste)

5. Tomato pulp - this volition yield the well-nigh authentic issue because information technology's finely diced tomato (information technology'due south chunkier small bits than crushed), but canned crushed tomato or tomato passata can be used in a pinch. Information technology'southward really not a big deal which you utilize.

half dozen. Kokosnoot milk - full fat best for thickening and flavour, Ayam is my brand of choice (highest coconut %, least h2o).

Alternatives (if you tin't have coconut): evaporated milk or cream. Strong season of spices volition recoup for non using coconut!

7. Chilli pulverization - go out this out if you tin't handle the rut! Non to be dislocated with US Chili Powder (one "fifty") which is a not spicy spice blend. This is pure footing chilli. Sub cayenne pepper.

8. Green chillies - doesn't add together spiciness into sauce, it'south more than for looks so it's optional. If making this non spicy, omit it.

9. Fish -Firm white fish work best in this dish - some suggestions: Castilian mackerel – (this is what I used, first-class value),tilapia, snapper, barramundi, cod (all types), mahi-mahi, halibut, basa, ling.

Salmon and trout are likewise mild enough to use here.

Avoid tuna, bonito, swordfish, marlin and kingfish (too piece of cake to overcook) and very oily fish (sardines, mullet, herring, mackerel). Delicate-fleshed white fish like flathead, gemfish/hake and sole tin can be used, but be careful equally they can intermission upward.
