A: Firm, white-fleshed fish like pomfret, mackerel, snapper, barramundi, or tilapia work well, as they hold their shape and absorb the flavours beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Yes, frozen fish can be used. Just ensure it’s thawed completely and patted dry before cooking to avoid excess water diluting the curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Use a mild or medium-spiced curry powder labelled for fish or seafood curries, or a standard South Indian curry powder. Adjust based on your spice tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPreparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A: Marinating is optional but enhances flavour. Marinate with turmeric, a pinch of salt for 15\u201320 minutes before cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Avoid stirring the curry vigorously once the fish is added. Gently spoon the curry over the fish instead of mixing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Yes, okra, eggplant, or even tomatoes are great additions. Add them after the fish has simmered for a while to avoid overcooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCooking Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A: Fish cooks quickly; 10\u201315 minutes on low to medium heat is usually enough, depending on the size and thickness of the pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: If the curry becomes too sour, balance it by adding a pinch of sugar or a little more coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Yes, reduce the chili powder and avoid using hot varieties of chilies. You can also add extra coconut milk to tone down the spice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Yes, saut\u00e9ing the spices in oil helps release their aromas and enhances the flavor of the curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\nServing and Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A: Serve Kari Ikan with steamed white rice, coconut rice, or flatbreads like roti or naan for a complete meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: Yes, you can prepare the curry a day in advance. In fact, the flavours deepen over time, making it even tastier the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A: The curry can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHave you tried this recipe?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
