Steps

40 minutes

1

To begin, soak the red chilies in hot water for 2-3 hours. De-seed them and blend them into a smooth paste. If you prefer a hotter version, leave a few chilies with seeds.
2

Marinate the fish fillets with salt, turmeric, and lemon juice. Keep aside.
3

Prepare the curry paste by blending together the coconut, tamarind, onion, garlic, and ginger.
4

Add the red chilli paste and mix well. Add in the ground garam masala, jeera powder, dhania powder, and mix.
5

Heat oil in a pan. Pour in the masala. Saute until you can no longer smell the rawness of ginger and garlic.
6

Add in enough water. Cover it with a lid and cook for 5-10 minutes.
7

Add in the fish. Cover with a lid again and let it simmer until the fish is cooked.

The Goanese Red Fish Curry is ready to serve. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
