There’s something comforting about a fish curry simmering on the stove — the air filling with tamarind, roasted spice, and coconut. It’s a dish that tastes like home, even if you’re far away from the coast.

At Aandal Foods, we love meals that are humble yet full of heart — and this South Indian-style fish curry captures exactly that. Simple to make, quick to prepare, and deeply satisfying.

You’ll Need (All available at Aandal Foods):

• Fresh Catch of Your Choice – Remember, fresh salmon and red fish available at a great price this weekend – cleaned and cut into portions
• Sakthi Fish Curry Masala – 2 tbsp
• Priya Tamarind Paste – 1 tbsp (dissolved in warm water)
• Coconut Milk – 1 cup
• 1 medium onion – finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes – chopped
• 1 sprig curry leaves
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• ½ tsp mustard seeds
• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander to garnish

How to Make It:

1. Prepare the base:
   Heat oil in a wide pan. Add mustard seeds, and once they splutter, add curry leaves and chopped onions. Sauté until golden brown.
2. Add the flavour:
   Stir in Sakthi Fish Curry Masala and turmeric. Let it toast lightly in the oil — this step releases the spice’s full aroma.
3. Build the sauce:
   Add tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Once they soften, pour in Priya Tamarind Paste mixed with a little warm water. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add the fish:
   Gently place the Fish pieces in the sauce. Cover and cook for 7–10 minutes until the fish is tender and cooked through.
5. Finish with richness:
   Pour in Coconut Milk and let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes — don’t boil too long or the milk may split.
6. Garnish & serve:
   Sprinkle with fresh coriander and serve hot with your preferred choice of Basmati Rice from our exclusive and premium quality Shri Vidya Basmati range.
