Golden Fish Curry
This low ingredient recipe is so easy, you allow the heat of the sauce to fully cook the fish. Midweek or weekend, quick dinner done!
This Golden Fish Curry is a fragrant, mild, and creamy dish inspired by South Indian coastal flavours, where fish curries are often enriched with coconut milk, turmeric, and aromatic spices. The golden hue comes from turmeric and a blend of warming spices, making it as visually appealing as it is delicious. It’s a perfect entry point for kids or anyone new to fish curries, thanks to its gentle heat and silky sauce. Serve it with steamed basmati rice, coconut rice, or warm naan to soak up the curry. It also pairs beautifully with a simple cucumber raita or a crisp green salad to balance the richness.
