I make fish curry differently each time, i like to experiment with it. Most of the time i make fish curry with coconut, since hubby loves his fish curry with coconut in it..

I tried this recipe today and it came out just awesomeee!!!! Could you also please share the recipe for Chicken French?? It would be really appreciated…
Want to replace the dry chillies n dhaniya with powders,can u pls let me know the measurement.
@Lekha V use 2 tblspn of chilli and 2 tblspn of coriander powder
Followed your instructions. Luckily I had all the ingredients. The result is awesome! A million thank yous!
This sounds like a really lovely recipe, can't wait to try! I just want to know which is the best fish to use for this? It mentions white fleshed fish so would something like cod or haddock do? Thanks.
I used US measuring spoons instead of regular spoons and my quantities of spices turned out to be greater than what’s in the images. My fish curry ended up having a very strong coriander flavor. Next time will try with regular spoons.
