Keralan Fish Curry, Keralan Fish Curry
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

David found this keralan fish curry recipe on Jamie Oliver's website when looking for something to make with the rest of the cod cheeks we had left after making our panko cod cheeks with skinny oven chips recipe.  

The type of fish used in the curry is 'firm white fish' and I thought the cod cheeks would work well...and they did!   There is a bit of prep to be done, however, once that's done, the curry is actually pretty quick to make.

I decided to make the curry on a Monday night and kept it in the fridge to enjoy a couple of nights later...the flavours had infused and the end result was an amazing fish curry that was so full of flavour, warmth and spice.   It's definitely one to make again and again...I think I might try it with monkfish or monkfish cheeks the next time!

Tips

  • Make ahead – the curry can easily be made ahead a couple of days and kept in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to reheat it on the hob.
  • Green chilli – when reducing the recipe to make it for the 2 of us, I used a small green finger chilli and left the seeds in. I was expecting it to make the curry pretty hot, along with the hot chilli powder, but the end result was a nice heat that was full of flavour.
  • This keralan fish curry recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people – when I made it the first time, I divided the ingredients by 3 and used 250g cod cheeks, to feed the 2 of us.
