Anita Jaisinghani's Fenugreek Fish
Feast on this Fenugreek Fish from Pondicheri in Houston for a 'transformative' twist on dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 lbs. skinless firm fish fillet like halibut or cobia
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bunch fenugreek, chopped fine OR ½ cup dry fenugreek leaves
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons ginger purée
- 1 serrano pepper minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 inch large carrot peeled and cut into 1cubes
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- pinch asafoetida
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 cup chopped green onions or leeks
Instructions
- Cut the fillets into 2 inch pieces and marinate with turmeric and salt. Wash the fenugreek leaves, discard the bottom 2 inches of the stems and finely chop the rest.
- In a stock pot, bring the coconut milk, ginger purée, serrano and salt to a boil. Turn the heat down, cover the stockpot and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the carrots are tender. If the mixture appears to get dry, add some water and if has too much liquid, cook with the cover off.
- Gently add the marinated fish pieces and simmer for 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and stir in the chopped fenugreek leaves.
- Pop: Heat up the coconut oil and add the asafetida, pop the mustard seeds and add the green onions. Sauté for 3-4 minutes on low heat then drizzle over the fish curry. Serve immediately.
