    I used tilapia & (fresh) spinach, like several others who have commented, & it was FANTASTIC. My husband just raved about it. I served it with sides of brown Basmati rice, chop salad, & Latin beans. This is definitely going to the top of our list of favorites! - 12/31/08

    This is very good! I have made it several times already. You can easily reduce the amount of fat (cooking oil) used quite a bit if you want to cut the fat content down. - 12/4/07

    This was excellent! I didn't have fresh ginger so used ground instead. Had Talipia in the freezer so I used that as well. Oh, opened tomatoe sauce by accident so I used a little more than half can. It was still delicious. Next time, I'll get it right and I know it will be superb! - 12/7/08

    I made this with frozen chopped spinach because I didn't have zucchini. It was very good. I think I would prefer it to zucchini. Also added a little cayenne for a little kick. - 8/4/08

    I LOVE INDIAN FOOD. I USE THIS RECIPE ONLY WITH CHICKEN BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE FISH ON HAND. WILL TRY IT WITH FISH NEXT TIME. THIS RECIPE IS AWESOME . REGRAMA WAS ASKING WHERE THE CURRY SPICE WAS . WELL THE CURRY SPICE IS THE TURMERIC, CHILI POWDER, CORIANDER, CUMIN GINGER ROOT - ALL PUT TOGETHER. - 7/22/09

    REDGRAMA, Curry Powder isn't a spice, it's a mix of spices. I believed it was developed for colonial English in India to tone down flavors and for convenience. All authentic Indian food is made with individual spices to vary flavors from dish to dish, better than the sameness of curry powder. - 5/24/09

    I'm not a huge fan of fish, but this was quite tasty over brown basmati rice. I cut the oil in half and added a bit of Cajun spice for a little extra kick. MY DH liked it as well. - 7/31/08

    ...IF not using "canola" oil--whatever happened to the traditional ghee? But this is great for zucchini season! - 7/31/08

    I made this last night (with spinach instead of zucchini, since I didn't have zucchini). It was delicious. My husband loved it too! - 8/15/07

    Had this last week! Fabulous! Watch your servings though, it can get pretty high in calories if you're not careful! - 3/16/07

    Use the fresh ginger- so worth it! Tasty. - 5/26/09

    Excellent recipe. I marinated fish in 1 tsp lemon juice and freshly ground black pepper for 10 minutes. Still tasted great! - 5/24/09

    A little coconut milk, 1 sprig of thyme and a scotch bonnet pepper would enhance the flavour - 7/22/09

    Enjoyed this tonight! Used tilapia and added some coconut milk (which upped the calories-- oh well). Easy and good! Note garlic and cilantro aren't mentioned in the ingredient list. - 5/28/09

    I haven't made this yet but I plan to this weekend. Sounds really great. I will probably serve it with a rice dish or angel hair pasta. - 7/31/08

    I was really surprised how well this turned out. Definitely something I'll have again. - 3/14/07

    Didn't have fresh ginger or zucchini so used ground ginger (pinch) and summer squash. Worked perfectly. Also subbed 3tsp McCormick Gourmet Hot Madras Curry Powder (contains all spices listed in recipe) along with a pinch of chili powder for spices listed. Also used Tilapia. - 8/1/09

    I can get tilapia for about a third of the cost of halibut, so I'm going to try the recipe using tilapia as others have. Also I have some opa squash that I'll use instead of zucchini. They are very similar. You could probably use any summer squash you have. - 7/22/09
