Ingredients:

Firm fleshed fish, boneless, skinless; cut into cubes or steaks		½ kg /Just over a pound
Red Onions, chopped finely		2
Mild green chilies, sliced		2 long / 4 Tbsp
Fresh Curry leaves		2 stalks
Mild Chili Powder		2 tsp
Coriander powder		2 tsp
Turmeric powder		¼ tsp
Coconut milk		2- 2½ cups
Sunflower oil (for shallow frying)		As needed (About ¼ cup)
Coconut oil		3 Tbsp

For the Marinade:

Finely Crushed Fresh Ginger		½ Tbsp
Small yellow lime (Indian variety)		Juice of one
Mild chili powder		2 ½ Tbsp
Pepper powder		1 tsp
Salt		1 tsp (to taste)

Method:

To the washed and drained cubes of fish, add the ingredients for the ‘Marinade’ and rub gently into the fish.
Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. In the meantime, chop up the required ingredients.
Heat a pan with vegetable oil or Sunflower oil to shallow fry the fish.
Add the pieces, spaced evenly, and fry very lightly on both sides.
While the fish is being fried, add coconut oil to another pot.
When hot, Add the onion, green chili, and curry leaves.
Saute well on medium heat, stirring till the onion is just changing color and softened.
Add the spice powders (chili, coriander, and turmeric).
Stir till nicely aromatic, sprinkling a little water if needed so that the masala does not burn.
Add the fried fish pieces and toss with the masala, gently.
Now add the coconut milk ( just enough to cover up the fish). The milk should not be too thick and not too thin.
Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or so till the gravy is thickened and reduced.
Add a tiny amount of loose coconut milk if the gravy has become overly dry and just heat up once more.
Allow to rest for some time before serving with HOT Rice! So yummy!

Delicious Malabar Fish Curry (with Thick Gravy)

Notes:

The fish must be extremely fresh for this delicious dish. Also make sure to use skinless, boneless pieces only.
You can also use fish steaks with bones for ease of frying. But I prefer to remove the bones before adding to the gravy.
