Easy Fish Korma

This is a super simple fish curry recipe that can be prepared and on the table in under 20 minutes; it's a mild korma so is suitable for the whole family too. I used haddock, but cod, coley or hake would work well too; you want a fish that will hold it's shape. 

I serve over wholegrain rice for a tasty and nutritious family meal.

Easy Fish Korma

Here's how:

• 2 spring onions
• 3cm piece of ginger root or 2 tsp ginger paste
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 green chilli
• 1 tsp olive oil or vegetable oil
• 1 red pepper
• 250g cherry tomatoes
• 200g frozen peas
• 1 heaped tbsp Korma paste (I use Patak's)
• 800g haddock fillet
• 1 tin coconut milk
• 2 preserved lemons or 1 tbsp lime pickle
• Handful fresh coriander leaves
• 1 tbsp natural yoghurt

Firstly add the olive or vegetable oil to a large pan and place onto a gentle heat. 

Now finely slice the spring onions, peel and finely chop or grate the ginger, slice the chilli and crush the garlic and add all to the pan. 

Now cut each of the cherry tomatoes in half, and slice the red pepper and add both to the pan to soften quickly.

Roughly chop the preserved lemon and then cut the haddock into bite-sized chunks and set aside. 

Once the tomatoes and pepper have softened a little, add the korma paste and stir everything in the pan together. Add the coconut milk, the peas and the preserved lemons (or lime pickle) and stir through to combine. 

Place each piece of fish into the pan and ensure each piece is immersed in the curry sauce and allow to cook on a high heat for exactly six minutes. Turn each piece of fish over after 3 minutes; you should see it is cooked through as it will go from opaque to white. 

Remove from the heat and spoon over rice or whatever you are serving with. Add a spoonful of natural yoghurt to the middle of the dish, or spoon a few smaller bits all over to add a creaminess and scatter over as many coriander leaves as you like. Enjoy!
