Introduction

I found this recipe on-line from The Hairy Bikers by Simon King & David Myers. I modified it slightly. If your local store does not carry curry leaves, try an Asian or Indian market. Do not substitute curry powder for curry leaves.

    2 tsp garam masala
    1 tsp black mustard seeds
    1 tsp ground coriander
    1 tsp ground cumin
    1/2 tsp chili powder
    pinch of ground cardamom seed
    1 tbsp olive oil

    For the chutney
    Olive Oil, 1 tbsp (remove)
    1 medium Onion, finely chopped
    3 inches Ginger Root, roughly chopped
    6 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
    1 green chili, finely chopped
    10 curry leaves, optional
    1 1/2 tbsp desiccated coconut

Directions

1. For the fish, wash fish and blot dry
2. Combine yogurt, garam masala, mustard seeds, coriander, cumin, chili & cardamom. Add the fish & coat well with yogurt mixture. Cover and marinate for an hour.
3. For the chutney, heat oil in a saucepan, add onion & cook until soft. Add the ginger, garlic, chili, curry leaves & coconut. Cook for a couple of minutes, until the coconut is lightly browned. Add the tomatoes, stevia and balsamic vinegar.
4. Simmer uncovered for about 20-30 minutes, until the chutney has thickened and reduced.
5. To cook the fish, heat the oil in a frying pan, shake off the excess marinade from the fish & fry until golden, about 3-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the fish.
6. Serve topped with warm chutney.
