Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) firm white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
  • 1 cup Jasmine rice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Preparation Steps

Start by rinsing the Jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.

Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces and season lightly with salt and pepper. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the fish and cook until just opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the diced onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced bell pepper, zucchini, and carrots, cooking for another 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.

Sprinkle the curry powder and turmeric over the vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Let the curry cook for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Gently add the cooked fish pieces back into the curry, stirring carefully. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the fish is heated through.

Serve the hot curry over the cooked Jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.
