Ingredients

1. 4 large fish fillets, skinless and boneless; white, meaty fish. I used Barramundi.

4. 6 tablespoon of vegetable oil

5. 1 large red onion

6. 1 knob of ginger

7. 2 Bay leaves

8. 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

9. 1 tablespoon of coriander powder

10. 1 teaspoon cumin powder

11. 1 teaspoon chilli powder

12. 2 large tomato

13. 1 large Potato

15. Bunch of Coriander

Preparation

1. Curry Paste: Peel the onion, Ginger and garlic. Blitz everything in the food processor along with the half of the coriander, cumin seed and tomatoes.

2. Fish: Cut it in 2 inch squares and marinate it with 1 tsp of the salt and 1 tsp of the powder turmeric.

Method:

Ø In a shallow saucepan, heat 5 tbsp of the oil over a high heat. Add the fish to the pan and fry to seal each piece, but do not let the fillets cook through. Remove and set aside.

Ø Add Bay leaf and the curry paste to the pan and fry it for about 10 minutes.
