Goan halibut coconut curry recipe Photo by Roberto Caruso
Rich, medium-spicy curry so well rounded and delicious we could eat it every day.
1 tbsp canola oil
454 g halibut, skin removed, sliced (with the grain) 1/2 in. thick
1/2 tsp salt
1 onion, finely chopped
2 serrano chilies, seeded and thinly sliced
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tomato, chopped
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
6 or 7 fresh curry leaves
1 1/4 cups coconut milk
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add 2 tsp oil. Season halibut with 1/4 tsp salt and cook until golden, 2 min per side. Transfer to plate.
ADD remaining 1 tsp oil and onion to pan. Cook until golden, about 2 min. Add peppers and spices. Stir until onion is well coated. Add tomato and stir often until almost soft, 2 min. Add vinegar, curry leaves and coconut milk. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens, about 5 min. Season with remaining salt.
RETURN halibut and any juices to sauce and continue cooking until heated through, 2 more min. Garnish with cilantro and serve over rice.
