Fish isn't the natural choice when you think of a curry but as I love a curry and sometimes I dont want any meat then fish is a good alternative. This is packed full of goodness from the fish to the veg,has a little spice and some zesty lemon flavours so it's a great treat for the tastebuds. Its a family friendly recipe that you can tailor for your children's likes as well as the adults. Its also quick to cook which is always a bonus. Dont be put off by the spices- I've added my favourite blend but you can just use a tikka paste and skip step 1.Why not give this a try and let us know how you find it.
Mix all your spice ingredients into a paste with 1 tbsp of the lemon juice
Using 1 tbsp of the paste, coat the fish on both sides and set aside.-I was a little too generous with mine lol
Heat the oil in a pan,add the onion,pepper,chopped garlic and the remaining curry paste and stir together till coated in the spices
Fry till soft 3-4mns
Peel and chop the pototoes into small chunks and add to the onions along with the cauliflower. Gently stir to get them coated in the curry mix
Add the stock, bring to the boil then simmer for 20-25 mns till the potatoes are cooked/soft
Halve the tomatoes and add to the sauce
Pour over the yoghurt and a sprinkle of chilli flakes
Add the spinach, stir through and continue to simmer for a further 2-3mns
Meanwhile heat a pan on a med/high heat. Add the fish and dry fry for 3-5 mns on each side. You may need to Fry the fish in batches.
Once the fish is cooked,let it cool slightly then use a fork and break it into chunks to allow you to flake it into the curry - leave some to add directly over the sauce on the plate when serving so it looks nice
Stir 3/4 of the fish into the sauce, Serve with boiled rice and nan bread,then add the remaining fish on top.
Or a toasted wrap and an extra tsp of yoghurt if you like
You can use any fish and any combination of veg for this dish as it's so adaptable.
You could use leftover cooked potatoes too.
