Ingredients

  • 500g fish (such as tuna or bonito), cleaned and cut into chunks
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-2 green chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Fish

Clean and cut the fish into chunks. Set aside.

Cook the Base

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced green chilies. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

Add Spices and Tomato

Add the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, and ground black pepper. Cook until the tomato is softened and the oil begins to separate.

Add the Fish

Add the fish chunks to the pot. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fish starts to cook through.

Simmer

Pour in the coconut milk and fish sauce (or soy sauce). Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Reduce the heat and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked and the flavors are well combined.

Finish and Adjust Seasoning

Add lemon or lime juice to the pot. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

Garnish with fresh coriander if desired.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
