Creamy Yogurt Indian Fish Delight 🐟🍛

Indian Spiced Fish in Creamy Yogurt Sauce 🐟🍛

Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4

Description:

Depending on how many chilies you use, this is a mildly spiced and lovely aromatic dish. I use small plaice fillets, rolled up and secured with a wooden skewer (remove them before serving) for this fish dish, but it is just as nice with other white fish. Serve with plain white rice, green peas, and a cucumber salad.

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3-4 onions
• 4 green chilies
• 2-3 teaspoons ginger
• 2 cups yogurt
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 cup fresh coriander, chopped

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Peel and finely chop the onions.
   • Deseed and finely chop the green chilies.
   • Peel and grate the ginger.

2. Saute Aromatics:

   • Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Add Flavor:

   • Stir in the chopped green chilies and grated ginger. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

4. Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:

   • In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, turmeric powder, fenugreek seeds, and ground cardamom until well combined.

5. Simmer the Sauce:

   • Pour the yogurt mixture into the frying pan with the onions, chilies, and ginger.
   • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce gently for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together beautifully.

6. Add the Fish:

   • Carefully place the fish fillets into the simmering sauce, ensuring they are coated evenly.
   • Simmer the fish in the sauce for another 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

7. Garnish and Serve:

   • Once the fish is cooked, transfer it gently to a serving dish.
   • Sprinkle the chopped fresh coriander over the top for a burst of color and flavor.

8. Enjoy Your Meal!

   • Serve your Indian Spiced Fish in Creamy Yogurt Sauce hot, accompanied by plain white rice, green peas, and a refreshing cucumber salad.
