    About This Recipe

    Tomato Fish Curry is a delicious North Indian curry where fish pieces are cooked in a spicy tomato based gravy. It is quite easy to make, uses simple ingredients and comes together in under 30 minutes.

    Serve it for comforting weekday meals with steamed rice and sliced onions on the side. You can also try it with phulka or lachha paratha.

    Ingredients

    Fish – I have used seer fish in this recipe, but you can use any fish that is preferred at home.

    Oil – Make this curry in mustard oil, as it lends it a unique flavour. You can also make it in vegetable oil if you don’t have mustard oil.

    Spice powders – This fish curry is spiced with basic everyday spice powders such as coriander powder, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder and garam masala powder. Adjust the quantity of spice powders depending on your taste and preference.

    Others – Ajwain/carom seeds, onion, ginger garlic paste, salt, green chillies, tomatoes and fresh coriander are other few ingredients that are required to make tomato fish curry.

    Adjust the amount of green chillies depending on your taste.

    Do not forget fresh coriander leaves, as it adds a refreshing taste with a pop of green in the curry.

    Serving Suggestions

    Tomato fish curry taste the best with plain steamed rice/jeera rice and some sliced onions on the side. You can also try it with Indian breads such as phulka, tawa paratha or lachha paratha.

    Storing Suggestions

    Tomato Fish Curry will last in the fridge for 2-3 days, stored in a clean and dry air tight container. Reheat in a pan or microwave, and adjust the consistency by adding hot water if it becomes thick after refrigeration.

      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!

      This is exactly the recipe I was looking for. My husband had been pining for fish curry, and every recipe I tried, while tasty enough, kept missing the mark. He specified a tomato base and no coconut milk; this is harder to find than you’d think! This recipe hit it out of the park!
