👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in turmeric powder, cumin powder, and chili flakes. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- 4
Add chopped tomatoes and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and form a sauce, about 10-15 minutes.
- 5
Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Gently add the fish chunks to the simmering sauce. Ensure the fish is mostly submerged. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily. Avoid over-stirring to prevent the fish from breaking apart.

Stir in half of the chopped coriander. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 8
Serve hot, garnished with the remaining fresh coriander and a squeeze of lime or lemon juice if desired. It pairs well with rice or xima.
