• 1 large, finely chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon, grated Fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 200 ml Coconut milk (light)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
• 2 sliced (optional) Fresh green chilies
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
• 100 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

1. Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces and sprinkle with lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Set aside while you prepare the korma base.

Step 2

2. In a karahi or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, allowing them to sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

3. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Step 4

4. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, garam masala, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spices release their aroma.

Step 5

5. Add the tomato puree and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and darkens slightly.

Step 6

6. Lower the heat and stir in the low-fat yogurt, one tablespoon at a time, to prevent it from curdling. Mix well.

Step 7

7. Pour in the coconut milk and water, then mix gently to combine. Add salt to taste. Allow the korma sauce to simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 8

8. Carefully add the fish pieces to the sauce, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them cook on low heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is tender and cooked through.

Step 9

9. If using fresh green chilies, add them in the last few minutes of cooking for an extra spicy kick.

Step 10

10. Garnish the korma with chopped fresh cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
