Serves: 2. Cooking Time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp of yellow mustard seed
1 tsp of dried chilli flakes (slightly less if you are less tolerant to spice)
1 tbsp of green cardamom pods
1 tsp of cumin
1 tsp of turmeric
1 white onion (finely diced)
2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
2 tbsp of coconut oil
1 can of light coconut milk
2 large fillets of cod
150g of vine tomatoes (sliced into 3 or quartered)
2 handfuls of baby leaf spinach
Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
In a medium-hot frying pan, dry fry the spices (mustard seeds, chilli flakes, cardamon pods, cumin and turmeric) for 1-2 minutes, until the spices become fragrant.
Add the coconut oil oil, onion and garlic and fry for a further 2-3 minutes, until onion is soft and translucent
Add the coconut milk and allow to simmer for 5 minutes on a medium heat
Place the fish and tomatoes in the sauce and cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked through. In the last 2-3 minutes add in your spinach and allow to wilt.
Serve immediately, I love to serve this curry with brown rice!
Happy Cooking!
