Ingredients

• 500 grams Fish (preferably catfish or tilapia)
• 60 grams Tamarind pulp
• 500 ml Water
• 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large Onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
• 2 Green chilies, slit
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Fenugreek seeds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the tamarind pulp by soaking the tamarind in 500 ml of hot water for 10 minutes. Squeeze well to extract the juice and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and clean the fish, cut into medium pieces, and pat dry.

Step 3

Heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Step 4

Add fenugreek seeds and sauté for a few seconds. Then add the curry leaves, followed by the chopped onions.

Step 5

Sauté the onions until golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and the oil separates from the mixture.

Step 7

Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir well.

Step 8

Add the tamarind juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Gently add the fish pieces to the simmering sauce and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.

Step 10

Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Step 11

Serve hot with cauliflower rice or a side of sautéed vegetables to keep it keto-friendly.
