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:
-
Prepare Ingredients:
- Peel and finely chop the onions.
- Deseed and finely chop the green chilies.
- Peel and grate the ginger.
-
Saute Aromatics:
- Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sautΓ© until translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add Flavor:
- Stir in the chopped green chilies and grated ginger. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
-
Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:
- In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, turmeric powder, fenugreek seeds, and ground cardamom until well combined.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
