Rohu is a freshwater
fish with a unique flavour |
|
and
truly delicious when cooked this way. |
|
As
rohu is not available in the UK,
I've used |
|
monkfish and it tastes amazing! |
|
|
|
Ingredients |
|
|
|
|
|
|
1kg monkfish, cut into
1" pieces |
|
|
|
3 tbls lemon juice |
|
|
|
2 medium onions, finely
chopped |
|
|
|
1 tbls fresh garlic,
minced |
|
|
1 tbls fresh ginger,
minced |
|
|
2 tsp chilli powder |
|
|
1/4 tsp turmeric |
|
|
2 tsp coriander powder |
|
|
2 tsp garam masala |
|
|
3 large tomatoes,
chopped |
|
|
3 green chillies,
chopped |
|
|
2 tsp salt |
|
|
3 tbls vegetable oil |
|
|
300ml water |
|
|
fresh chopped coriander

|
Method |
1. |
Place the
fish in a large bowl. Pour over the lemon juice and 1 tsp
salt and |
|
mix in well,
set aside for 30 minutes. |
2. |
Meanwhile
prepare the curry base. Heat the oil in a large heavy
based pan. |
|
Add the
onions and brown over a medium heat, the onions should be light |
|
brown in
colour. |
3. |
Next add
ginger and garlic and stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Add 2
tablespoons of |
|
water if the
mixture catches the bottom of the pan. |
4. |
Then add the
chilli powder, turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, |
|
remaining
salt and 100ml water. Cook this mixture for 2 minutes on a
medium |
|
heat.
Now add the tomatoes, stir, cover and cook for 10 minutes,
stirring |
|
frequently.
The oil at this stage should start to separate from the tomato |
|
mixture. |
5. |
Finally
add the fish and 200ml water to the pan, stir in well and cover. |
|
Cook on a low heat for 15-20 minutes until the fish is tender
but firm. |
6. |
Transfer the
curry to a serving bowl and sprinkle over the chopped chillies |
|
and
coriander. |
