A creamy, tangy, and aromatic curry that’s quick to prepare and packed with flavor. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or when you want to bring a taste of the tropics to your table.
INGREDIENTES:
For the Fish Curry:
- 🐟 1 lb (450g) white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or snapper), cut into chunks
- 🥥 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 🌶️ 2 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to taste for spiciness)
- 🦐 1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional, but adds depth of flavor)
- 🍋 Juice and zest of 2 limes
- 💧 1 cup water or vegetable broth (to adjust consistency)
- 🌿 1 cup fresh spinach or bok choy (optional, for added greens)
- 🫑 1 red bell pepper, sliced (optional, for color and texture)
For Serving:
- 🍚 Cooked jasmine rice (about 2 cups)
- 🌿 Fresh cilantro or Thai basil leaves (for garnish)
- 🥜 Toasted coconut flakes (optional, for crunch)
INSTRUCCIONES:
1. Prepare the Base:
- Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes to release its fragrance.
- Pour in the coconut milk, stirring well to combine with the curry paste. Add 1 cup of water or vegetable broth to adjust the consistency of the curry.
2. Simmer the Curry:
- Stir in the fish sauce (if using) and the lime juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add the lime zest and any optional ingredients like red bell pepper slices or spinach/bok choy. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
3. Cook the Fish:
- Gently place the fish chunks into the simmering curry. Cover the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. Avoid stirring too much to prevent the fish from breaking apart.
4. Final Touches:
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more lime juice, fish sauce, or even a pinch of sugar if desired.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or Thai basil leaves and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for extra flair.
5. Serve:
Serve the curry hot over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Add a wedge of lime on the side for an extra squeeze of freshness.
CONSEJOS Y VARIACIONES:
- Add more veggies: Include zucchini, carrots, or snap peas for a heartier curry.
- Spice level: Adjust the amount of red curry paste to control the heat, or add fresh chili slices for extra kick.
- Protein swap: Replace fish with shrimp, chicken, or tofu for a different twist.
- Garnish ideas: Top with sliced green onions, crushed peanuts, or a drizzle of chili oil for added flavor and texture.
BENEFICIOS:
- Quick and easy: Ready in just 30 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights.
- Healthy and light: Packed with lean protein, healthy fats from coconut milk, and vibrant flavors from fresh ingredients.
- Customizable: Easily adaptable to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
