Mustard Fish Curry Recipe

Here is the complete recipe for Mustard Fish Curry. Which is a dish originally from Bengal of India.

INGREDIENTS

1. 350gm Swordfish steaks


2. Half tsp ground turmeric


3. 1 tsp nigella seeds


4. 1 tsp ginger


5. 3 tbsp wholegrain mustard


6. 4 green chillies


7. Half a cup of water


8. 2 tbsp flavourless oil


9. 1 tsp chopped fresh coriander


10. 1 tsp mustard oil (optional)


11. Salt to taste

METHODS

1. Slice the fish into even sized rectangles and smear them with the turmeric.


2. In a sauté pan, bring the oil to heat on high. When it's hot, toss in the nigella seeds. As they sizzle up, fry the swordfish for 10 seconds on each side and then remove with a slotted spoon.


3. Next add the ginger in the same oil and nigella seeds in the pan and stir for a few seconds. When it's golden, stir in the mustard and green chillies.


4. Then add the fish back in and half a cup of water. Lower the heat to a medium, cover and cook flipping the fish over gently two times for about 10 minutes until the steaks are cooked and the curry reduces to at least half it's original quantity. You can insert a fork through the steaks, and if they go through easily, you're done.


5. Finish by adding salt to your taste, sprinkling over the fresh coriander and drizzling the mustard oil, if you're using it. This is lovely served with steaming hot Basmati stirred through with ghee.
