A creamy Keralan Fish curry recipe.

Keralan Fish Curry


This is a Nigella inspired curry and I'm slightly ashamed to admit I've never actually cooked a fish curry before. I can't believe what I've been missing. Even hubby was impressed by its slightly sour but at the same time mellow flavour. Lowen thought the fish was chicken - but she ate it all up so I'll let her believe it.

Oh, and other exciting news (some of you will laugh), Waitrose and Sainsburys are soon going to be less than 10 minutes from my door! At the moment Sainsburys is a 78 mile round trip and Waitrose 70 mile round trip.

    Not sad at all. I think lucky you to have 2 good supermarkets within shouting distance.

    That curry sounds fab, and your photo is better than you think. I can't believe it, but I haven't made one curry this winter. I'd better get my skates on as things are already hotting up around here.

    Wow you must be excited, that is a long drive for you at the moment!

    Beth, I think that pic looks great, as does the curry!! I'm also guilty of never having tried a fish curry and have always liked the look of Nigella's. I need to try this one day soon!

    Picture looks good to me - it's hard to make sauce-y things look really attractive! (I certainly can't do it!)

    And no, not sad at all. I was really pleased when I realised that Waitrose is only a 15 minute drive from me!!!

    I've never ever eaten a fish curry!
    I have a friend who manages a Waitrose, they seem to be really nice stores.

    Hi Beth,
    I have a confession to make here *sorry* it one of my opps!! I only found out today that I had mislaid your link on my new blog, my apologies and it is now in its rightful place.

    That curry sounds gorgeous and the photo looks great to me!! What good news about Waitrose and Sainsburys - much better for you

    I shouldn't be reading this- I am on a diet at the moment which excludes real food. But I was curious. Looks lovely
