- 1
Mix. Grind chiles, coconut, coriander, cumin, turmeric, garlic, plus ginger in a spice grinder or blender till very smooth. Keep to one side. Heat oil in a big heavy-bottomed lidded saucepan over a high flame till shimmering. Tip in the curry leaves and chiles and mix till they splutter and release their aroma, around 15 seconds. Reduce heat to mid-sized. Tip in the onion and cook, mixing now and then, till softened but not browned, around 5 minutes. Tip in the spice paste and carry on mixing now and then till it releases an aroma plus the oil begins to float on top, around 5 minutes. Add water, mix, close the lid plus bring the curry to the boil. Check seasoning and add salt if needed once boiled. Reduce heat to low plus slide in the fish fillets till they are totally immersed in this curry. Let the fish heat lightly for 5 minutes without mixing. Eat at once with steamed white rice.
