Tomato fish curry is an easy to make Fish Curry and is made in a tomato based gravy. It goes very well with steamed rice. You can increase or decrease the spice level according to your preference. Here is a video of how to make fish curry with tomato.
Considered to be one of the healthiest food on Earth, fish is full of protein, vitamins, and nutrients. Fatty fish like salmon, tuna have a higher amount of fat-based nutrients.
Fish also decreases the chances of strokes and heart attacks. BTW, by eating fish one even becomes a happier person as it improves the quality of our sleep as well. So, it completely makes sense to prepare Methi Machli or Chettinad Fish Fry for dinner to get some good night sleep, right?
On the same lines of Methi Machli, I even tried Tomato Fish Curry Recipe just to try and check out how the combination of tomatoes and fish work out.
Few years back, I had tasted this curry at a Goan restaurant and I felt really invited by its fusion and concept.
Though it is a pretty simple dish, this does use different spices and as it is made using mustard oil, it does have that typical Bengali food flavour as well. ( Although not a Bengali Recipe )
My kid usually likes chicken more than fish but a serving of Tomato Fish Curry Recipe, invited him to try out something different and he loved it for the first time.
Fused with the flavours of tomatoes, spices, fish and fresh strings of coriander Fish Curry With Tomato is a show stealer on the table along with steamed rice. So, ladies, when are you making this finger-licking fish dish?

Made this fish curry last night and it turned out great! Spicy and perfectly sour – plus I love how easy it was to make! I used frozen fish and added it into the curry the same way and cooked for 12 minutes. Just great!
