Looking for an easy, delicious fish curry? This fish curry features canned mackerel in a spiced tomato and coconut milk sauce, making it quick, affordable, and nutritious!

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 13.5oz can full fat coconut milk
  • 1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes
  • 2 15oz cans mackerel
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt butter on medium heat and sauté diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Toast spices about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Add the coconut milk, diced tomatoes, and mackerel. Stir to combine, break up larger pieces of fish, then simmer until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, then serve over rice or with naan.

Notes

  • Canned mackerel can be substituted with fresh or frozen fish.
  • While the curry sauce masks most of the fishy flavor, if you’re looking for less fishy options, tilapia, flounder, Pacific whiting, or other white fish are much more mild.
